Bourbon
Green River Distilling Co.
$34.99
70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley
Nose
Toasted marshmallow, oak influence, less sweetness than younger expression.
Palate
Solid character with pop rocks sensation from rye, sizzler quality, tangling sides of the tongue, rye really shows itself, butterscotch note prominent.
Finish
Nice finish without excessive Kentucky burn for a sour mash.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-balanced five-year flagship bourbon with pronounced rye spice and butterscotch complexity at an exceptional price point.
