Marlene Holmes is Master Distiller of Milam & Greene Whiskey in Texas, but before that she worked for Jim Beam at the Booker Noe Plant for more than 30 years, where she worked with Booker Noe himself as well as Pam Heilmann and many others.

The Milam & Greene team distills in Blanco, Texas on copper pot stills as well as in Kentucky on classic column stills, using its proprietary yeast recipe and mash bill. Aging takes place in casks with an assortment of char levels, located in rickhouses spread across four states with varying climates and terroir resulting in a variety of flavors that create the most thorough array of casks collected by any craft distiller. These casks become the ingredients from which its award-winning American whiskey range is batched to create perfection." - milamandgreenewhiskey.com
