Overview
Green River Full Proof Bourbon is a barrel-strength Kentucky straight bourbon from Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky. It takes the core high-rye Green River Bourbon profile and bottles it at full proof for a richer, more concentrated expression.
The release is designed for drinkers who enjoy the flagship bourbon but want more intensity, proof, spice, and barrel character. It is one of the key premium expressions in the modern Green River lineup.
Brand History
Green River’s modern portfolio began with accessible core bourbon and expanded into wheated bourbon, rye whiskey, full proof releases, and single barrel selections. Full Proof Bourbon gives the revived Owensboro brand a stronger enthusiast-facing bourbon expression.
The release also connects to Green River’s larger story as a restored Kentucky whiskey name, carrying forward the “Whiskey Without Regrets” identity from a distillery originally founded in 1885.
