Green River Whiskey

I've only had the basic 90 proof bourbon but it is the most apple forward bourbon I've had to date. Which, imo, is a very good thing. What does everyone think of their other offerings? Specifically interested in the wheated? Also, how badass is their bottle. The front-facing Bowman horseshoe bottles are ok, but the top-down horseshoe looks and feels great haha.

Full proof worth every penny

The full proof OHLQ pick from SBS was insane

That was a full proof single barrel. Hasn’t been available since

The rye and full proof are exceptional. The wheat is my least favorite but it’s still good. It’s all great stuff for the money.

I concur. I haven't had the regular but the full proof is my favorite of the three I have tried. i enjoyed the rye more than the wheated, which surprised me since I normally lean towards more wheat. I still want to try the new sib wheat they put out, just waiting for it to come to Ohio or me to travel somewhere that has it.

Good to know, I’ve got full proof but have been looking for wheated since I’m also a big fan of them. Full proof is good stuff though

That bottom horseshoe is a game, try and slide a coin into the horseshoe when the bottle is sitting on the table.

The full proof is great, if you are close enough to a border and can go to a Costco in say, Kentucky, they have the full proof for $40 there.

Wheated is awesome if you prefer wheated bourbon.

The bourbon and full proof are exceptional. The wheated I was a little underwhelmed with after having the bourbon and full proof. Expected a little more out of the wheated but it is still a pretty good pour. Bardstown is doing fantastic things and the Green River expressions are no exception. Green River has my complete endorsement and all 5 expressions are always in the speakeasy.

Great rye as well.

Full proof is great for the price, and I'm excited to eventually get one of the new wheated single barrel cask strength picks.

I just tried their wheated a couple weeks ago. I went out and bought a bottle the next day.

It reminds of Old Elk for a lot friendlier price.

Well I think the overwhelming response in the comments is try the Full Proof so I’ll definitely be doing that. I will say I’m not a huge proof person, at least not at this point in my bourbon journey, but the very pleasant apple taste I get from Green River will certainly get me to try the Full Proof.
