Green River Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

Green River Wheated swaps the rye for 21% wheat — Owensboro's revived 1885 distillery making a soft, bread-and-caramel bourbon at 90 proof for thirty-five dollars. Green River is DSP-KY-10, the tenth license in Kentucky, built by J.W. McCulloch in 1885 on the Ohio River, rebuilt in 2014, first new barrels in 2016 under master distiller Jacob Call, and bought by Bardstown Bourbon Company in 2022. The Wheated is 70% corn, 21% wheat, and 9% six-row malted barley — the same proportions as the flagship with wheat in the rye's place — aged at least four years in new charred oak and bottled at 90 proof. Breaking Bourbon: freshly baked bread and creamed corn with summer fruit on the nose; sweet caramel and vanilla over faint leather, soft oak, wheat grain, and light pepper on the palate; and a finish of white pepper, baked bread, and gentle lingering spice — easy sipping, no flaws, easy on the wallet. Expect the Green River smoothness with the edges sanded further — rounder, sweeter, less spice than the rye bourbon. Honest note: the wheated category is dominated by allocated bottles nobody can find; this is a real Kentucky wheater from a real distillery that's always on the shelf — for the Weller hunter who's tired of hunting, and the Old Fashioned that wants no bite. Neat, on a cube, or in a cocktail. Green River, wheated.
