Overview
Green River Single Barrel is the barrel selection family from Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky. The program includes cask-strength single barrel releases that showcase individual barrels from the distillery’s bourbon and wheated bourbon stocks.
The brand family is important because it gives drinkers a more specific look at Green River’s house style. While the core bourbon and wheated bourbon are batched for consistency, single barrel releases highlight barrel-by-barrel variation in proof, flavor, and maturity.
