In case you haven't heard by now, we are HUGE fans of Green River Distilling Company. In fact, we voted their Rye the Best Rye of 2024! A couple of weeks ago, the U.S. Army celebrated their 250th birthday and Green River showed them some serious love - in style! How cool is it to get your own commemorative bottle and to have a portion of the proceeds be donated to various non-profit groups that support US soldiers. This particular bottle comes in at 111.1 proof, which is an honor to Veteran's Day on November 11th.
We can tell you this. This bottle IS available across the US in many markets. We just returned from Scottsdale and saw this sitting on the shelf. If you're a Green River enthusiast, an Army veteran or want to provide a special gift to the soldier in your life, we highly suggest this bottle.
Carmel color to the rim, this bourbon is comprised of barrels in the four-to-seven year age statement. The mashbill is 77% corn, 14% rye and 9% malted barley, presenting aromas of cinnamon stick, red fruits, pomegranate, cedar and book leather. On the palate is a very warm and welcoming blend of caramel syrup, nutmeg, vanilla sponge cake and baking spices. The finish is pleasantly lingering and you'll immediatley want to "try that again" as soon as the glass is empty. The special packaging and label are just a bonus to the appeal and this bottle is all around solid! Hooah!
