Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750mL

Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL | Owensboro, Kentucky

Process & Profile

Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a classic, rye-forward Kentucky bourbon designed to be balanced, flavorful, and easy to enjoy neat or in cocktails. It’s made with locally sourced Kentucky corn and a higher-rye mash bill that gives the whiskey a warm, peppery backbone while still keeping the core bourbon notes—vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak—front and center. Bottled at 90 proof, it has enough structure to stand up in an Old Fashioned, but it stays smooth enough for everyday sipping.

Green River’s signature style leans “bright-and-spiced” rather than heavy and syrupy. Expect a golden-amber pour with aromatic lift, a lively mid-palate, and a finish that fades clean with lingering oak and spice.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warming rye spice, vanilla, caramel, light oak, hints of dried cherry

• Palate: Caramel sweetness, toasted oak, cinnamon-like spice, balanced grain richness

• Finish: Medium-long with a smooth oak fade and a clean, peppery rye snap

What Makes It Special

• 90 proof profile that works equally well for sipping and mixing

• Rye-forward mash bill delivers extra spice and lift compared to softer bourbons

• Made with Kentucky-grown corn, keeping the flavor rooted in classic Kentucky style

• Versatile “house bourbon” option for cocktails without losing character neat

• A dependable bottle for customers who like balanced sweetness with a little extra bite

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat first to catch the spice and vanilla-caramel core. If you want a softer edge, add a few drops of water to open the aromas and round the spice. For cocktails, Green River shines in simple builds where the rye lift adds energy:

• Old Fashioned: Keep sweetener light so the bourbon’s spice stays forward

• Bourbon & Ginger: The warming spice pairs naturally with ginger

• Whiskey Sour: Balanced proof keeps the bourbon present through citrus
