Kentucky's Green River distillery was originally founded in 1885, and the brand was reintroduced into the world of American whiskey in 2022. Here we have its Kentucky straight bourbon, distilled from a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% winter rye, and 9% malted barley, aged on-site in some of the state's oldest warehouses, and bottled at a satisfying 45% ABV. The relatively generous rye content ensures generous notes of warming spice alongside silky layers of caramel and oaken vanilla.
