Kentucky’s Green River Buzzing into 2023, Eyeing Wider Reach
With retail prices of bourbon ever rising –forget about what has happened in secondary market pricing – one new bourbon has stood out in 2022 as being not only a fine sipper, but also eminently affordable: Green River.
The 90-proof bourbon retails for an easy-to-reach $36, and has spread across Kentucky as a quiet contender, with its unique, horseshoe-shaped bottle and a back story steeped in Kentucky distilling history.
Until recently, the distillery had been known as O.Z. Tyler, best known for producing bourbon for bulk and private brands as well is its own whiskey – NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and NFL analyst Terry Bradshaw notably worked with the distillery to produce his bourbon brand. But in 2020, the Owensboro distillery changed its name to Green River to reflect its history, which dates to the late 1800s.
