Green River Wheated Bourbon

John McCulloch founded Green River, Kentucky’s 10th oldest licensed distillery, in 1885 (DSP-KY-10). With his visionary approach, Green River whiskey immediately became legendary worldwide. Then, at the height of its reign, Prohibition and a mysterious fire reduced the empire to ashes. More than 130 years since its inception Green River returns. Made on the same grounds it was in 1885. Perfected by an eighth-generation Master Distiller.

Green River Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon leads with a beautiful peach and caramel aroma coupled with apricot and cinnamon. Bursting with flavor, on the palate you’ll find toffee, pastry and hazelnut that guide toward a honeyed finish that’s smooth and balanced. In contrast with Green River Bourbon, which brings a hearty backbone of rye spice, the wheated expression lends itself to easy drinking while holding its own distinct character. It’s a wonderful take on a classic Kentucky recipe and the perfect addition to the iconic Green River brand.

Some of the bourbon brands that have been made on the site of the Green River Distillery include: Ezra Brooks, Mellow Corn, Medley Brothers, Kentucky Beau, Old Medley and Five Brothers. (Some of these brands have moved on to different distilleries over time and some are no longer in production.)
