The result is typically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Softer spice profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creamier mouthfeel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notes of sweet bread, caramel, and vanilla<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rounded oak influence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At cask strength, those characteristics intensify. Expect deeper caramelization, richer oak structure, and a longer warming finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"about-green-river-distilling-co\">About Green River Distilling Co.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green River Distilling Co., located in Owensboro, Kentucky, traces its origins back to <strong>1885<\/strong>, when it was founded by J.W. McCulloch. It proudly holds DSP-KY-10, making it the <strong>10th licensed distillery in Kentucky.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Historically marketed as \u201cThe Whiskey Without Regrets,\u201d Green River became one of the most recognizable bourbon brands of the pre-Prohibition era. Like many historic distilleries, it closed during Prohibition but has since been revived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Green River operates on a revitalized Owensboro campus and has re-established itself as a respected Kentucky bourbon producer. The distillery now produces traditional mash bills, wheated expressions, and high-quality single barrels that are increasingly selected by retailers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"arkansas-single-barrel-momentum-continues\">Arkansas Single Barrel Momentum Continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arkansas has seen a strong surge in store picks over the last several years, and wheated bourbon continues to grow in popularity among collectors and daily sippers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a cask strength release at 117.8 proof, this Purspirit Liquor selection should appeal to both proof enthusiasts and fans of softer, wheat-forward bourbon profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always with single barrels \u2014 once this barrel is gone, it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact Purspirit Liquor for availability and pricing details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arkansas bourbon hunters have something new to chase.
