Price Statistics

Description

Green River Full Proof is a bold, high-impact bourbon that sticks to classic Kentucky roots while offering an elevated experience thanks to barrel-proof bottling. It delivers rich caramel and spice flavors with more muscle than standard expressions, yet remains approachable and good value. Origins & Craftsmanship Produced by the historic Green River Distilling Company in Owensboro, Kentucky, this bourbon uses a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley. The Full Proof release is a small-batch selection of barrels that are blended and bottled at barrel strength (around 117.3 proof / ~58.65% ABV), without dilution. The approach focuses on maximizing flavor and texture by preserving the natural strength of the cask, showcasing the distillery’s craftsmanship and aging environment. Tasting Profile Nose: Rich and inviting—aromas of toffee caramel, chocolate-coated peppermint, vanilla and seasoned oak. Subtle hints of cinnamon, dried cherry and light leather round out the bouquet.Palate: Full-bodied and layered. The richness of brown sugar and creamy caramel lead the way, followed by spice from the rye—cinnamon, allspice and a touch of white pepper. A subtle fruit note (apricot or cherry) appears, along with mellow oak tannin.Finish: Long, warm, and lingering. The caramel sweetness recedes into dry oak and gentle pepper spice, leaving a lasting impression of richness balanced by structure.
