Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey
Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey
Green River Full Proof Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a smooth and flavorful expression from Green River Distilling Co., crafted in the heart of Kentucky using a traditional wheated mash bill. Made with 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% wheat, and 9% malted barley, this bourbon replaces the sharper rye spice with the soft, rounded sweetness that wheated bourbons are known for.
The result is a bright yet comforting whiskey that highlights peach, apricot, and warm pastry notes while maintaining classic Kentucky character. Produced in Owensboro, it reflects the revived Green River style—easy-drinking, approachable, and rich with natural sweetness, yet still complex enough to stand out among traditional bourbons.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A wheated Kentucky straight bourbon makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves whiskey on the softer, sweeter side, or for a friend just starting to explore bourbon. Green River Distilling Co. makes this one in Owensboro from 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% wheat, and 9% malted barley. Wheat stands in for the sharper spice of rye and gives a rounded, honeyed character. Ripe peach and caramel lead the nose, with apricot, cinnamon, and a gentle pastry sweetness behind them. On the palate, orange peel and apricot bring brightness, balanced by toffee, fresh pastry, and a touch of hazelnut. A lingering finish of honey, soft oak, and light cinnamon follows. It suits a promotion toast, a housewarming, or Father's Day, and it works however the recipient likes to drink. Pour it neat to taste the fruit, add a few drops of water to lift the peach, or stir it into a gentle Old Fashioned or Gold Rush. Add a peach cobbler or a plate of mild cheeses and the gift becomes an evening.
