Green River's new wheated bourbon provides more than solid bang (and flavor) for the buck.
a flagship launch for the revived distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky, housed in one of the oldest distilling facilities in the state. A decade ago, that facility was effectively a ruin, but it was bought by South Carolina-based Terressentia in 2016, who renovated it and brought it back to its original glory. At the time, it was rechristened as the O.Z. Tyler Distillery and immediately began contract distilling for others while they aged their own in-house bourbon.
Specifically, they’ve added two new whiskeys: An everyday wheated bourbon to complement the company’s flagship, and a more limited Green River Full Proof Single Barrel expression, presented at roughly 59.5% ABV , at a pretty attractive MSRP of $60. Unfortunately, I don’t have samples of BOTH new expressions at the moment, so let’s dive right into tasting the wheated bourbon.
On the nose, Green River Wheated Bourbon is soft and sweet, with gentle tones of honey drizzled over citrus and stone fruit, friendly tones of peach and brown sugar, vanilla and a little clove. The lumberyard/sawdust tones of oak nod a bit toward its relative youth, but the overall impression is pleasant and not too constrained or defined by age. It has an overall effect that suggests pastry–peach cobbler–while having a gentle ethanol presence.
