Green River Straight Bourbon is a remarkable revival of a Kentucky legend, distilled on the same historic grounds where the brand first began in 1885. Known as the Whiskey Without Regrets, this high-rye bourbon is aged for at least five years in unique clay tile warehouses that allow for a slower, more deliberate maturation. The result is an incredibly silky and pillowy mouthfeel that balances rich butterscotch sweetness with a sophisticated peppery kick. It is an approachable yet deeply layered spirit that honors its pre-Prohibition roots while standing out as one of the finest modern whiskeys in the world.
