Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
One of the darlings of the sourced bourbon world at the moment also bottles some pretty great stuff under their own label. This 5-year old, high-rye is spicy on the nose with a cinnamony kick on the palate, balanced by malted milk balls and dried fruits. There’s great complexity and silky viscosity despite a mild, drinkable proof. Fantastic bourbon at a fantastic price.
