Green River Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Review
Though coming from the iconic mash bill of 95/5 (95 percent rye, 5 percent malted barley), this is not the sourced MGP distillate you might expect it to be — nor does it taste like it. There’s a lot going here: red berries, honeysuckle, fresh-cut flowers, and chocolate. Such complexity at an incredible value!
