Green River Full Proof Wheated takes a familiar profile and turns up the intensity. Bottled at 109.3 proof and priced around $50, it lands right in the middle shelf where value and flavor have to deliver.
Produced by Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky, one of the state’s oldest distilleries, this non-age-stated release builds on their wheated lineup with more structure and depth. While “full proof” might be a stretch at this number, it ultimately works in the bottle’s favor, adding just enough edge to elevate the experience.
A Familiar Profile, Pushed Further
On the shelf, Green River keeps things consistent. The bottle shape is clean and recognizable, with the horseshoe detail anchoring the brand identity. It’s not flashy, but it’s effective and confident without trying too hard.
Where this bottle separates itself isn’t in presentation, but in how it drinks compared to expectations. Wheated bourbons often lean soft and sweet, sometimes to a fault. This one doesn’t.
There’s a noticeable lift here, a spice-forward edge layered into what would otherwise be a traditional wheated profile. That added structure makes it feel more aligned with higher proof bourbon drinkers, not just wheated fans. It’s a small shift, but it changes the experience in a meaningful way.
