Voted Kentucky Distillery of the Year in 2022 by the New York International Spirits Competition
Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a heritage brand reborn with modern craftsmanship and deep Kentucky roots. Originally launched in the late 1800s, Green River was once known as the “most expensive whiskey ever sold before Prohibition.” Today, it’s proudly distilled at the newly revitalised Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky — one of the oldest federally licensed distilleries in the state.
Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it uses a traditional mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, resulting in a balanced and easy-drinking profile. The nose is rich with sweet corn, vanilla, and baking spices, followed by a palate of caramel, cinnamon, light oak, and a subtle hint of citrus. The finish is smooth and slightly spicy, with just enough warmth to invite another sip.
Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon stands out not only for its flavour but for its authenticity. It’s a true Kentucky bourbon that respects tradition while embracing a new chapter — accessible in price, polished in character, and steeped in history. Whether you’re sipping it neat or using it as a base for cocktails, Green River delivers classic bourbon charm with a story worth sharing.
