Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Green River Distilling has roots going back to 1885 in Owensboro, Kentucky, making it one of the state's oldest licensed distilleries — though the brand itself was known as O.Z. Tyler until a 2020 rename, and Bardstown Bourbon Company acquired the operation in 2022. This flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a no-age-statement release the distillery confirms is aged more than five years, built from a high-rye mash bill (70% corn, 21% winter rye, 9% malted barley) using Kentucky-grown corn sourced mostly from Daviess County. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it's the same base recipe behind the pricier Full Proof expression, just proofed down to an easier everyday strength. Bourbon & Banter called it "beyond good," praising warming spice from the rye alongside the classic trio of vanilla, caramel, and oak, rounded out with cinnamon and candied fruit. Other tasters describe a similar profile: chocolate mint, citrus peel, and brown sugar on the nose, moving into baking spice, canned peaches, and buttery cornbread on the palate, finishing rich, thick, and lingering. A genuinely well-regarded, easy-drinking Kentucky bourbon built for sharing rather than a special-occasion pour.
