Green River Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Premium Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon

Short History

Green River traces its roots back to 1885 in Owensboro, Kentucky, as the 10th oldest licensed distillery in the state and a pioneer of classic American bourbon. Celebrated early on as “The Whiskey Without Regrets,” it became the official medicinal whiskey of the U.S. Marine Hospital and one of the most widely advertised spirits in the world before Prohibition halted production. After decades of dormancy, the Green River brand was revived and reborn in 2022, bringing its rich heritage and authentic wheated bourbon tradition back to shelves across the U.S.
