Green River: A Bold, Authentic Bourbon Experience
Green River is a brand crafted with a compelling story – rooted in history. Founded in 1885, Green River is the 10th oldest distillery licensed in Kentucky and is known for its value and quality in the premium craft bourbon category. As the official whiskey of the U.S. Marine Hospital for 18 years in the early 20th century, Green River was originally known as “the whiskey without a headache,” featured prominently on the bottle, throughout the brand’s merchandising, and Green River’s many national ads. After Prohibition, this tagline later changed to “the Whiskey Without Regrets,” when whiskey was no longer considered medicinal.
Since then, the brand has reinvented itself and celebrates the traditional art of bourbon-making while embracing modern standards of quality and consistency. Their bourbon is crafted using a signature mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, resulting in a profile that’s bold yet approachable. Green River is also proud to present 1885 Bourbon, a new staple for backbars across the country. An 85-proof expression aged four years and blended with bartenders’ creativity in mind, Green River 1885 Bourbon honors the brand’s storied history while bringing new life to the cocktail bars of today.
