Green River Bourbon

Fred Minnick 2022 Top 100 Whiskeys Ranked #61 Fred Minnick Top 100 American Whiskeys 2023 Ranked #42 Prefer over Buffalo Trace for a daily pour.

Not as sweet as I expected, but a ton of herb and spice notes, with a tinge of banana. Spicy finish lingers to the point of numbing the back of my tongue. Bought this the day before Liquor Barn marked it down $5, lol.

Nose is vanilla and oak. Palate is fruity: some apple but mostly darker fruits. Oak. End was a sweetish leathery note. Glad to finally see it somewhere outside of KY!

What a wonderful offering!

Nose: Fruit-forward. Some dark fruit… cherry? Also banana. Oak and tobacco. Palate: Not nearly as fruity as the nose. Spicy - allspice, dash of pepper. Butterscotch. Finish: Medium and warming. Pleasant.

Nice value. A fun note, you can play the game “quarters” using the bottle’s horseshoe bottom.

Very smooth and easy to sip. Reminds me of well-respected brands that cost a lot more.
