Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon American Whiskey (750ml, 45% ABV)
$109.00
Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon comes from Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky – the state's 10th oldest licensed distillery, first founded in 1885 and revived in 2022 after a century of silence.
It is made from Kentucky-grown corn with a high-rye mash bill of 70% corn, 21% winter rye and 9% malted barley, aged for more than five years in new charred American oak in some of Kentucky's oldest warehouses, and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
The extra rye brings warming spice alongside caramel, vanilla and a hint of chocolate mint – an approachable, rye-forward bourbon that works neat or in an Old Fashioned.
Enjoy as you please. Try adding a few drops of water to open up the flavours.

About the Distillery
Green River Distilling Co. was founded in Owensboro, Kentucky in 1885 by J.W. McCulloch. Sold as "The Whiskey Without A Headache", it became one of the most widely advertised whiskeys of its day, before a fire in 1918 and then Prohibition brought production to a halt.
The brand was revived in 2022 and today every bottle is distilled and aged on site in Owensboro, the westernmost stop on the official Kentucky Bourbon Trail. In 2025 its Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon was named Best Bourbon in the World at the New York World Spirits Competition.
