Green River Wheated Single Barrel is a barrel-strength Kentucky straight wheated bourbon from Green River Distilling in Owensboro, bottled at 58.6% ABV (117.2 proof).
It uses a wheated mash bill of 70% local corn, 21% wheat and 9% malted barley.
Each barrel is bottled on its own at full proof, so strength varies from about 110 to 130 proof.
Wheat gives a softer, rounder sweetness, with caramel, honey and baked bread.
It launched in 2025, and its single barrel label with the gold medallion makes it a collectible bottle.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
