Green River Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Named Best Bourbon of 2025 From New York World Spirits Competition

Green River Distilling Co. was founded in 1885, but after a fire in 1918 followed by Prohibition the distillery closed. This bottling marks the first whiskey from the brand in over 100 years.

Our Wheated Bourbon leads with a beautiful peach and caramel aroma coupled with apricot and cinnamon. On the palate you’ll find toffee, pastry and hazelnut that guide toward a honeyed finish that’s smooth and balanced. The wheated expression lends itself to easy drinking while holding its own distinct character.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Rich, golden-amber color.

Taste: Orange peel, apricot, and cinnamon are balanced by toffee and pastry. A honeyed, round mouthfeel with hints of hazelnut leads to a lasting finish of traditional Kentucky flavor.

Finish: Lingering, rich mouthfeel.

" An easy sipping bourbon that won’t break the bank" - Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon 

"All in all, this isn’t what you’d call “deep” or complex, but it’s extremely easy to enjoy ... This is a versatile, if basic bourbon that displays some lovely sweetness and fruit notes, making it ideal for practically any use." - Jim Vorel, Paste Magazine 

"Wheated bourbons can sometimes be a bit one dimensional, especially on the nose, but this is impressively expressive from the get-go. The aroma is bright and gently sweet with loads of orchard fruit: golden apples, fresh peaches, and dried apricots. And it builds as it opens with undertones of buttery caramel and soft baking spice. The palate is a little more straightforward but impressively approachable, showcasing rounded notes of butterscotch, peanut brittle, and well-balanced oak ahead of a warming finish of vanilla frosting and orange rock candy." - Drew Beard, Drinkhacker (90 Points)
