#Bourbon blends top the list of the best of 2024. Are you shocked by this? My opinion? I think it's brought on by the #trend of younger generations branching out and wanting something a little different, a little more unique. #NEWstalgia if you will. #spirits #spirittrends #BourbonTrends

I am so excited to announce Milam and Greene’s new release: The Bottled-In-Bond. Here’s why it is so special to me. Six years ago, when my team and I desiged the mash bill, yeast strains, how we wanted it to taste, look, feel, cost (yes, we think about that too!), I was full of naivite about what it would mean to be a CEO of a small Whiskey company. When we filled the barrels in the autumn of 2019, we had no idea that the world was about to change forever. During the aging of this product, I learned some good life lessons, namely that the only certainty we have is uncertainty. Supply chain issues, Hill Country climate changes, inflation, whiskey shortages, labor costs and even dear colleagues deaths were among the few surprises that came my way. I’ve accumulated talents in humility, grit, empathy, mindfulness, and what perseverance looks like running a small business in America. For small whiskey businesses, I’d argue that it’s actually set up to fail for many reasons I’ll adress in another post. Yet through it all, these barrels sat quietly absorbing the world and people around them, maturing into all the complex flavors they’re meant to have. I’ve been with this spirit all along it’s life, testing and tasting along the way, watching it evolve and age into a rich color while surviving whatever came it’s way. My tasting notes for it are like no other: on the nose, a whisper of excitment, dreams, and creativity. On the palate, grit, perseverance, hope and a hint of luck. Finish is mindfulness delivered with just enough hard knocks wood to give it struture and toughness. What did your life look like in 2019? How did you evolve? I bet you’ve learned a ton about yourself - and if you don’t quite know, maybe get a little curious about that over this new whiskey. I’m right there with you. The answers might be in a quiet moment with yourself or a good friend. Cheers to the Bottled-In-Bond, the inevitability of change and making that into something of beauty, and to each of our prescious and unique lives.

This is a very cool modern solution for an industry that has relied heavily on ancestral know-how. How many of you incorporate Cognac-based cooperages into your barrel program (Leroi being one of several historic cooperages)? Do you know what makes Cognac unique for seasoning?
