Green River Full Proof Wheated Bourbon Whiskey
The Green River Full Proof Wheated Bourbon Whiskey showcases the distillery’s signature smoothness in its boldest, most expressive form. Bottled at full proof and built on a wheat‑forward mash bill, this release amplifies the soft sweetness, warm spice, and creamy texture that define Green River’s modern Kentucky style.

This is a standout bottle for collectors, wheated‑bourbon fans, and anyone seeking a full‑flavor Kentucky experience.
