About this bottle

The whiskey brand centers on the fictional character Reilly, who, by the age of two, had lost an eye, committed a homicide, and been gambled away in a poker game. He later established the Black Eye Society to distribute whiskey in milk bottles during Prohibition. Mother's Milk is an American blended whiskey crafted in the Irish style, incorporating a small quantity of unaged whiskey with the aged spirit. The mash bill comprises 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley.

Vera Toro 3.3

A truly distinct taste, and the story behind Reilly is remarkable. Purchase the bottle for the conversation starter. An American-produced Irish Whiskey is a brilliant concept. It has minimal body but offers good flavors. An easy-drinking spirit!

Homer Sutherland 4.0

Pleasant and easy to drink. Smells of caramel, with a faint vanilla flavor on the finish.
