Tasting Notes: Milam & Greene Unabridged Volume 1

Vital Stats: Bourbon whiskey. 59% ABV 118 proof.

Appearance: Burnished copper

Palate: As we settle into this story, we are treated to cigar tobacco, earthy notes like milled wood, and worn leather. A main character is rye spice in the middle chapters, with orange peel, and rye bread playing supporting roles. The mouthfeel is rich across the tongue and lingers for a while. The finish here is understated and smooth, with bitter bakers’ chocolate and a hint of candied cherries.
