  Green River Distilling Co. Introduces Honey  Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey   Made with 100% Honey and No Artificial Sweeteners or Additives   Owensboro, Ky. ( May 12 , 2026) —  Green River Distilling Co. ,  known for classic, approachable Kentucky bourbon, expands its award-winning portfolio this month with the launch of  Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey .

  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 ma...

It's no secret that sometimes celebrity-endorsed products don't work out.  The celebrity walks away with a sack of cash and the company behind the madness is stuck trying to convince consumers that the product is worth spending their hard-earned money.  Unfortunately, the result is often having an abundance of non-selling product sitting on shelves for months upon months.  That will NOT be the case here.  We tasted and thoroughly enjoyed Row 94 Straight Bourbon Whiskey , distilled by Green River Distilling Company and endorsed by country and bluegrass superstar Dierks Bentley.  The name comes from Nashville's Music Row and the year that Bentley fell in love with country.  The Thunderbird logo represent his album Riser. When we first popped this cork, we knew we were in for a ride.  Gold-orange in the glass, this bourbon is full of orange marmalade and sweet chocolate aromas.  In the mouth is a savory and bright candy bomb, framed by chocolate cove...
