INFO
The fIfth and final release in the 2023 Wildlife Collection, White-Tailed Buck Single Barrel Bourbon, is a limited-edition, cask-strength bourbon. Each release in the Milam & Greene Wildlife Collection highlights how the weather in the Texas Hill Country impacts the aging process of their whiskey and honors the local Texas wildlife that thrives in this challenging environment. White-Tailed Buck Single Barrel Bourbon will be available exclusively on the Milam & Greene Whiskey website and in the distillery tasting room beginning at 3:00 p.m. (CST) on Wednesday, December 13, 2023.
Milam & Greene White-Tailed Buck Single Barrel Bourbon is pulled from cask #518, with only 259 bottles available of this extremely limited, 131.2 Proof cask-strength release. This single-barrel bourbon is named for an iconic symbol of the region, the White-Tailed Buck, known for its strength, grace, and the untamed beauty of the Texas wilderness.
White-Tailed Buck 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 eight months. It was then brought to Texas on November 10, 2022, to further age for one year and sixteen days palletized on end, where it rested undisturbed, unrotated, and without climate control on the northside of the Milam & Greene Rickhouse 2 in Blanco, Texas. It was bottled in Texas on November 27, 2023, at 131.2 proof. White-Tailed Buck Single Barrel Bourbon was aged a total of seven years, eight months, and 16 days.
The seven years-eight months-16 days-old Milam & Greene White-Tailed Buck Single Barrel Bourbon is the final release of the 2023 Wildlife Collection and will be available for $149.99 only on the Milam & Greene website and in the distillery tasting room. This single barrel yielded just 259 bottles at cask strength of 131.2 Proof. As a very limited release, once this is gone, it’s gone. This edition, which is part of an incredibly fast-selling series to date, is sure to sell out in minutes as each single barrel bourbon before it in the Wildlife Collection has done. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bottle of the Milam & Greene Wildlife Collection will benefit Texas Parks & Wildlife.

We blind proof, hand bottle, and label each whiskey with tremendous care and heart.
TASTING NOTES
Color: Auburn
Nose: It has deep aromas of maple candy, cherry cordial, brown sugar, damp earth, oak, and shortbread cookies.
Palate: The palate carries through with notes of dark cherry, cornbread muffin, cola, light oak, “Mary Jane” peanut butter taffy, and a nice, oily viscosity that thoroughly coats the palate. It has a long viscous finish with hints of menthol, gingerbread, and candy corn.
This is one of the highest-proof bourbons bottled by Milam & Greene Whiskey and the distilling team recommends adding a measure of water to open the flavors.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bottle of the Milam & Greene Wildlife Collection will go to benefit Texas Parks & Wildlife.
