This exquisite addition to their prestigious year-round whiskey collection embodies quality and tradition, making it a must-have for bourbon enthusiasts.
Understanding Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Only a select few whiskeys in the United States meet the stringent criteria for the Bottled in Bond designation. Enacted by the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, this regulation ensures the integrity, quality, and authenticity of aged whiskey. To qualify as Bottled in Bond bourbon, the spirit must:
- Be produced in a single distilling season by a single distillery
- Mature in a U.S. bonded warehouse for at least four years
- Be bottled at exactly 50% ABV (100 Proof)
This rigorous process results in a Whiskey that is both distinctive and revered among connoisseurs, setting Bottled in Bond Bourbon apart from the rest.
Crafting the Perfect Bottled in Bond Bourbon
The Milam & Greene team employed their signature mashbill, featuring malted rye for a richer texture and a hint of nuttiness. Using their proprietary yeast, they achieved a balanced and complex flavor profile. This Bottled in Bond Bourbon boasts richness and depth, whether distilled in the copper pot stills of Blanco, Texas, or with their partners in Bardstown, Kentucky.

After patiently monitoring its maturation for nearly five years, Milam & Greene’s CEO Heather Greene is thrilled with the results. The Kentucky column stills and adherence to the Bottled in Bond Act regulations have yielded a bourbon with refined and subtle flavors that traditional bourbon fans will love.
Aromas of candy corn, honey, and chocolate malt greet the nose, while flavors of fresh bread, malted milk balls, wildflower honey, and a touch of tannic oak enhance the palate.
