Green River Wheated Bourbon

average wheter, prefer brenheim

The nose is more of a gentle sweetness that caresses your nostrils like a carmel syrup scent. Maybe even like a light refreshing cucumber note as well. On the palate it has hs a bit more of a bite to it than what I was expecting almost as if it has a bit higher rye content. The main contributing profile, though, is that carmel or candied apple taste that sticks with you from the front end all the way to the finish. I'm not getting a whole lot else to it but it's an enjoyable sip especially for those who like a sweeter profile.

Much more depth than regular Green River, more of an oily mouth feel with a pleasant sweetness initially that finishes with heavy baking spice and cinnamon. For $35-$40 well worth the price.

I rate this a 3.75 because it’s so pleasant and easy sipping. It won’t hit you in the face with flavor nor is it powerful on the nose, but it is delicious and has plenty of complexity for a daily drinker. As a person who normally prefers higher proof bourbons, I was pleasantly surprised with this 90 proof offering, especially for $35. This one is a bit more refined than your average sub $40 bottle. Also, this bourbon really benefits from a glencairn glass as the nose is much more prominent than in a rocks glass.
