Green River Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey
Green River Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey is Green River's flagship turned all the way up: a small batch of select 5-to-7-year-old barrels, blended and bottled uncut at full barrel strength with no water added, in a 750mL bottle. The proof varies by batch — the debut batch landed at 117.3 proof — but the character doesn't: cinnamon, dried cherry, warming spice and deep caramel from Owensboro, Kentucky's historic tile warehouses. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Owensboro's Flagship, Uncut
Green River Distilling is one of America's oldest whiskey names — founded in 1885, shuttered by Prohibition and fire, revived in 2020 — and Full Proof is its boldest statement yet. Master Distiller Dan Callaway blends barrels from the distillery's favorite spots in its original tile-constructed rickhouses, whose warm-and-cool temperature swings give each batch its own proof and personality. What was once a barrel-program exclusive is now the distillery's first blended full-proof retail release.

Tasting Notes
Nose of cinnamon, dried cherry and light leather. The palate is full and warming — spice, vanilla, caramel and chocolate-coated peppermints, with layers of toasted oak and tobacco. A long, spicy-sweet finish with cappuccino foam and cinnamon.
How to Enjoy
At barrel strength this is a whiskey to approach on your terms: neat for the full experience, or with water added a few drops at a time to open the caramel and chocolate notes. It also makes a formidable Old Fashioned.
