About Milam & Greene Port Finished Rye Whiskey:

Milam & Greene Port Finished Rye is a Gold winner from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and rated 97 points by Wine Enthusiast. It is produced as Indiana Rye whiskey is brought to Texas where the Milam & Greene team batches it in their warehouse and finishes it in old Port Wine Casks. The Texan sun influences the rate and strength of flavor imparted into the whiskey. Some casks take longer than others. The team tastes the whiskey finishing in the Port Wine Casks regularly until the optimal flavors are achieved. Casks are then batched together, tested regularly and proofed before bottling.
