Why it's craft
The name is the year John W. McCulloch founded the distillery in Owensboro. Green River made this one for bars: a four-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon at 85 proof in a liter bottle. It comes from the same distillery as the rest of the line, which Bardstown Bourbon Co. has owned since 2022.
