Milam & Greene Liberty American Whiskey Release
One question Milam & Greene gets all the time is:
If it's made like bourbon, why isn't it bourbon?
Their newest release, Liberty, answers that question while celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
Beginning June 24, 2026, Liberty becomes available from Milam & Greene. This limited release marks the distillery's first-ever American Whiskey and brings together two whiskey traditions in a way that feels fitting for a bottle created to honor a major American milestone.
Liberty starts with a blend of pot-distilled Texas whiskey and column-distilled Kentucky whiskey. The whiskey then spent 5 years and 9 months aging in used Texas bourbon barrels.
That final detail is what separates Liberty from bourbon.
Federal regulations require bourbon to be aged in new charred oak containers. Because Liberty matured in previously used Texas bourbon barrels, it falls into the broader American Whiskey category instead. Those used barrels are also what help create Liberty's unique character, giving the whiskey a different maturation path than a traditional bourbon.
Bottled at 120.8 proof, Liberty is one of the few cask-strength releases from Milam & Greene to land under the $100 mark. The whiskey carries a suggested retail price of $76, a nod to the year American independence was declared.
This is a small release for a big moment.
Only 500 bottles will be available.
Beginning at noon on June 24, 250 bottles will be available online through participating retail partners where shipping is permitted. Another 250 bottles will be released through the Milam & Greene distillery in Blanco.
If you'd rather pick up your bottle in person, Milam & Greene is allowing customers to reserve a bottle for pickup before Independence Day, making it easy to secure one before making the drive.
Whether you're a collector, a fan of Milam & Greene releases, or simply curious about how barrel choices can completely change a whiskey's classification, Liberty offers an interesting opportunity to explore a side of American whiskey that doesn't always get the spotlight.
And with only 500 bottles available, this is likely one of those releases that won't sit around for very long.
