Green River Launches Honey Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Green River Distilling Co. has announced the launch of Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey.
Green River Honey begins as four year old Green River Kentucky Straight Bourbon, distilled and aged in Owensboro, Kentucky. A custom blend of locally sourced, seasonally selected honey is then added directly into the barrel, allowing the bourbon and honey to marry naturally through barrel interaction rather than post-production blending. The result is a honey-finished bourbon bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) with no artificial sweeteners or flavoring additives.
The proprietary honey blend used in Green River Honey is procured in partnership with Above the Dirt Garden and Honey Shop, a Kentucky Proud, beekeeper-owned business that works year-round with a network of family-owned apiaries. This partnership ensures a blend of 100% raw, pure, unfiltered honey, sustainably sourced from family-owned apiaries across the Midwest and South.
Green River honey is described as “retaining the warmth, texture, and backbone of Kentucky bourbon while introducing floral aromas surrounded by honey, caramel, orange peel, toasted oak, and vanilla, coating the palate with full-bodied flavor, and finishing with light cinnamon spice.”
Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey is now available nationwide in a 200 mL bottle and in Green River’s signature 750 mL bottle for the suggested retail price of $24.99.
