Green River Honey Finished Bourbon Whiskey is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Owensboro, Kentucky, finished with real honey and bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof). It keeps its bourbon backbone front and center—vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak—while the honey finish adds a soft, natural sweetness that rounds out the edges without tipping into liqueur territory.
Green River Distilling Co. has deep roots in Owensboro, a town long known as a hub of bourbon production. Rather than chase a heavily flavored, candy-sweet profile, the distillery took a simple approach with this release: let real honey gently enhance a solid straight bourbon instead of masking it. The result is a bottle that still reads as bourbon first, honey second.

- Nose: Wildflower honey, vanilla bean, toasted oak, light caramel
