Green River Bourbon Whiskey U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Release
Green River Bourbon Whiskey U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Release is the official commemorative bourbon for the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary: bottled at 111.1 proof (55.55% ABV) — a nod to Veterans Day, 11/11 — age-stated 4 years from a small batch of barrels aged 4 to 7 years, 750mL, non-chill-filtered — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Green River Distilling Co. of Owensboro, Kentucky (est. 1885) partnered with the U.S. Army to create the official licensed commemorative bourbon for the Army's 250th anniversary (1775–2025). The inaugural bottle was parachuted by the All Veterans Group skydiving team into the hands of soldiers at Fort Knox on June 14, 2025 — Flag Day and the Army's birthday — and a portion of proceeds supports U.S. Army MWR (Morale, Welfare & Recreation) programs for military families. The bourbon itself is Kentucky straight bourbon built on a 75% corn / 15% rye / 10% malted barley mash bill, a lower-rye variant reported for this release.
Tasting notes: warming spice, vanilla, and caramel on the palate; aromatic notes of cinnamon, dried cherry, and light leather; reviews note caramel, buttered cornbread, apple pie and cinnamon, red apple peel, nutmeg, and clove.
