Milam & Greene Unabridged Volume 3 is a cask-strength, non-chill filtered bourbon, released on Sept. 17, 2024, as part of its literary-themed Unabridged series. The series honors Master Blender Heather Greene's book, "Whiskey Distilled." The bourbon is is bottled at 118 proof and has an suggested retail price of $94.99. Milam & Greene distills in Blanco, Texas, but also contract distills at two locations in Kentucky and sources from Tennessee. Fortunately, the brand is quite transparent and tells us exactly how this 49-cask blend breaks down. *deep breath*: Four casks are 10-year-old Kentucky bourbon, 13 casks are 9-year-old Kentucky bourbon, seven casks are 6-year-old Kentucky bourbon, five casks of 4-year-old Texas bourbon made with malted rye, five casks of 4-year-old Tennessee bourbon, and 15 casks of 3.5-year-old Kentucky bourbon made with malted rye.

Sweet, lovely nose. A big lavender note is joined by cardamom, cinnamon, blueberry muffins and sugar cookies, plus some spicy character: ginger and clove. After some time in the glass, chocolate malt, charred toast and spearmint waft out.
Lovely viscosity. Sweet Demerara and praline kick off the palate, soon join by oak and tannin, which fill in around the back sides of the tongue. More chocolate malt and cinnamon carry over from the nose, joined by candied ginger, cola, white pepper, cherry, cornbread and a touch of spearmint on the back of the tongue.
This bourbon finishes long and deeply sweet, but the spice kicks up in a major way. Candied walnuts, vanilla frosting, sticky caramel, dusty oak, cinnamon and chili powder.
Delicious, well-balanced bourbon. It’s decadent and sweet with hefty spice notes.
