Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey
Green River Full Proof Wheated Bourbon Whiskey – Bold Kentucky Wheated Bourbon
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.
By selecting barrels at peak maturity and bottling without dilution, Green River delivers a richer, deeper, and more robust version of its wheated bourbon — one that balances high-proof intensity with the elegance and approachability wheat is known for. A standout bottle for collectors, wheated-bourbon fans, and anyone seeking a full-flavor Kentucky experience.
