BLANCO,
Texas, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Milam
& Greene Whiskey is introducing the third release of the 2024
Wildlife Collection: Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon, a
limited-edition, cask-strength whiskey. The Milam & Greene
Wildlife Collection explores the correlation between the
environment in the Texas Hill Country and how it impacts the flavor
of aging bourbon. Each bottle of this collection highlights native
Texas wildlife to bring awareness to Texas Parks and Wildlife
causes and this year's collector theme focuses on the birds of
Texas. The new Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon was chosen for its
deep red mahogany hues. It will be available exclusively on the
Milam & Greene Whiskey website and in the distillery tasting
room beginning at 3:00 p.m. (CDT) on
Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
Because each of our Wildlife Collection
single barrel releases varies in flavor and textures, they have
become sought after to compare each bottle. Mark your calendars for
this small batch release as the Wildlife Single Barrel Bourbon
Collection regularly sells out online in minutes.
"Milam & Greene Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon is named for
the beautiful and captivating red bird which can be spotted
year-round in the eastern two-thirds of Texas.," said Milam &
Greene Whiskey Distillery Manager, Rikk
Munroe. "Cardinals pass through the Milam & Greene
distillery property in Blanco,
Texas at various times throughout the year as they migrate
north and south. It's nice to see their pops of red in the trees as
they hunt for bugs and other forage on their way to their summer
and winter homes."
"Our rickhouses are not temperature controlled, allowing for the
Texas climate to make a distinct mark on each Wildlife Collection
release," says Heather Greene, Milam
& Greene Whiskey CEO and 2023 Master Blender of the Year. "The
intense prolonged dry heat last summer and a couple of extreme cold
snaps this winter exposed our Cardinal whiskey to climate extremes
that have had a tremendous impact on how it aged, and the amount of
liquid lost to the angel share from the barrel. Because each of our
Wildlife Collection single barrel releases varies in flavor and
textures, they have become sought after to compare each bottle.
Mark your calendars for this small batch release as the Wildlife
Single Barrel Bourbon Collection regularly sells out online in
minutes."
The Wildlife Collection: Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon
Milam & Greene Wildlife Collection Cardinal Single Barrel
Bourbon is pulled from cask #506, yielding 130 bottles of this
limited, 129.8 proof (64.9% ABV) cask-strength release. Cardinal
Single Barrel Bourbon was distilled in Tennessee with a mash bill of 84% corn, 8%
rye, and 8% malted barley. It was barreled in Tennessee on March 8,
2016, where it was aged for six years and seven months. It
was then brought to Texas and aged a further year, six months, and
twenty days on the palletized south side of Milam & Greene
Rickhouse 1. Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon was bottled on
April 26, 2024, at 129.8 proof /
64.9% ABV after aging for a total of eight years, one month, and
twenty days.
Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon, which appears as a beautiful
mahogany color, has enticing aromas of honey, Nila wafers, cherry
cordial, and marshmallow fluff. It greets the palate with a creamy
sweet mouthfeel with notes of pecan sandie cookies, creamed
cornbread, and baking spices. This whiskey has a long finish with
hints of black pepper and eucalyptus.

Milam & Greene Cardinal Single Barrel Bourbon is available
for $149.99 only on the Milam &
