- Excerpt: While it’s a well-executed young wheater, I think I like it just a bit more than the rye-based bourbon.

Intro:
Distilled and bottled by Green River Distilling in Owensboro, Kentucky, this is the producers first release of a wheated bourbon. Bottled at 45% ABV, lets give this a go.
-
Nose:
Sweet and buttery, full of sweetness, caramel, buttercream, vanilla ice cream and a touch of praline.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, the ABV is apparent in that it's not punishing, but there's plenty of character. Vanilla, caramel candies, butterscotch, tiramisu, a touch of creme brulee.
-
Finish:
Finish is moderate in length, pleasant but not everlasting. Caramel candies, toffee, honey, maple candies, creme brulee and a pleasant pop of cinnamon.
-
Overall:
I couldnt be happier to see Green River excelling in making classically produced bourbon and now with a variety of mashbills. The wheated easily excels Green River's standard bourbon mash, in my opinion, and Id be caught dead drinking it any day.
