Green River Unleashes a Bold New Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon

The historic Green River Distilling Co. will not only continue to grow its distribution footprint this year, it will also expand its lineup of barrel-strength offerings. Green River Kentucky Straight Wheated Single Barrel Bourbon, the newest release from this heritage distillery, offers the signature smooth yet full-bodied character of the brand’s classic Kentucky recipe with a high proof punch.

Presented at barrel strength, ranging from 110 to 130 proof (55 – 65 percent alc. by vol.), and aged a minimum of five years, each Green River Kentucky Straight Wheated Single Barrel selections burst with ripe apricot and tangerine over luscious barrel notes of oak, cinnamon, and vanilla creme. The hallmark soft finish is bolstered by rich, full-proof flavor. Every barrel is unique and offers a distinct flavor fingerprint.

Just 100 barrels will be available in 2025, exclusively for purchase by the barrel to on- and off-premise retailers. Each retailer will be able to hand-select their unique single barrel on-site at the historic Green River Distillery in Owensboro, Ky., now with the option to choose between the brand’s signature high-rye recipe and the smooth and sweet wheated mashbill.

A limited number of bottles will be available to the general public beginning February 13, 2025, exclusively at the Green River distillery gift shop in Owensboro, and Bardstown Bourbon Co. retail shops at the distillery in Bardstown and Tasting Room in Louisville.

“Green River takes pride in our approach to whiskey - simple, timeless recipes and a commitment to quality and value. This single barrel release carries on that promise with a balance of rich barrel character, rounded out by soft, sweet, winter wheat,” said Dan Callaway, VP of Product Development for Green River Distilling Co.

Green River Distilling Co. was purchased by Bardstown Bourbon Company in July 2022. Growing from just four states in 2022, Green River’s continued expansion will reach 45 states in 2025, recently adding distribution in New Jersey and Washington, and is on-track to be a top-10 super-premium American Whiskey in the coming years. This summer, Green River will open a tasting room and retail shop in Louisville, bringing the “Pride of Owensboro” to the historic Whiskey Row.
