The story behind it

The maker

Originally founded by J.W. McCulloch in 1885, Green River was once known as the Whiskey Without Regrets before being destroyed by fire in 1918. Revived and rebuilt on its historic grounds, the distillery honors its rich legacy under modern leadership while reclaiming its spot as a champion of classic Kentucky whiskey.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic DSP-KY-10 in Owensboro, Kentucky, this straight rye whiskey represents the proud return of a legendary distilling tradition. The expression is distilled, aged, and bottled at the iconic site using time-honored practices and deep well limestone water.
