Product Description
Green River 1885 Bourbon stands as a testament to Kentucky’s long-standing bourbon tradition, embodying a revival of one of the state’s most storied distilleries. Distilled and aged in Owensboro, Kentucky, this bourbon captures the heart of American whiskey craftsmanship. It carries the legacy of the original Green River Distillery, founded in 1885, a name that was once synonymous with “The Whiskey Without Regrets.” Today, it delivers that same commitment to integrity, flavor, and quality through a modern lens.
Each bottle of Green River 1885 Bourbon is made from a carefully selected mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, producing a rich and balanced spirit. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of honey, toasted oak, and butterscotch. The palate follows through with deep flavors of caramel, vanilla bean, and baked fruit, accented by a gentle spice from the rye. Its texture is remarkably smooth, with a long, warm finish that lingers pleasantly without harshness.
Aged in new charred American oak barrels, the bourbon develops a deep amber color and complex layers of flavor that only time can produce. Bottled at 90 proof, it offers an approachable strength that appeals to both seasoned bourbon drinkers and newcomers alike. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or in a classic Old Fashioned, Green River 1885 Bourbon delivers a consistent, satisfying pour that captures the essence of Kentucky bourbon at its finest.
This is more than a bottle of whiskey, it’s a revival of history, craftsmanship, and pride from the heart of bourbon country. Each sip tells a story of tradition reborn, inviting drinkers to experience an authentic taste of Kentucky heritage with modern refinement.
