Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep amber with a melted-candle-wax glow, showing slow, weighty legs that reflect its high proof and maturity.

Nose: Rich and slightly rugged. Leather, black pepper, and black tea lead the way, followed by subtle campfire ash, seasoned oak, and faint smoky warmth. Hints of dark fruit and toasted grain emerge as it opens.

Palate: Full-bodied and assertive. Sweet caramelized sugar and syrupy corn richness arrive first, balanced by light fruit notes—mulberry, citrus zest, and a touch of lemon brightness. Mid-palate reveals graham cracker sweetness layered over gentle tannins and fresh oak that never feels over-aged.

Finish: Long and evolving. Soft smoke, warm spice, and lingering oak gradually fade into a dry, slightly smoky curve that feels bold yet refined.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, made in partnership with the United States Army as a limited-edition salute to the Army's 250th anniversary. Beneath the commemorative label is a serious pour: a 4–7 year blend from a 75% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley mash bill, bottled at 111.1 proof. The nose is rugged in the best way, with leather, black pepper, black tea and a wisp of campfire ash. The palate brings caramelized sugar and syrupy corn brightened by mulberry, citrus zest and graham cracker. The finish runs long, drying into soft smoke and oak. It suits the enthusiast who enjoys high-proof sipping and the collector who values a bottle with a story, and it makes a meaningful gift for anyone with ties to Army service. We carry it because it is a commemorative release that earns its place in the glass, not just on the shelf, and because it carries the revived Green River legacy forward with real character.

Pairs well with

  • Smoked brisket — The bourbon's soft smoke and seasoned oak echo the bark on the brisket while its caramel sweetness balances the richness of the meat.
  • Dark chocolate and toasted pecans — Bittersweet chocolate and nutty pecans draw out the brown sugar, graham cracker and dark fruit notes on the palate.
  • Veterans Day toast — As a release commemorating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, its bold, full-bodied character makes for a fitting ceremonial pour to honor those who served.

Questions about this bottle

What does this bourbon taste like?

Expect leather, black pepper, black tea and faint campfire ash on the nose, then caramelized sugar and syrupy corn on a full-bodied palate, lifted by mulberry, citrus zest and graham cracker. The long finish fades into soft smoke, warm spice and oak with a dry, slightly smoky curve.

What is it made from, and how old is it?

It is built from a classic mash bill of 75% corn, 15% rye and 10% malted barley, matured in new charred oak. The whiskey is a blend of 4–7 year-old bourbon from Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky.

How strong is it, and should I add water?

It is bottled at 111.1 proof (55.55% ABV). Neat in a Glencairn is the recommended way to taste its full structure, but a few drops of water soften the spice and open up the caramel, graham cracker and fruit notes, which is especially helpful with a pour this bold.

Is this a good gift bottle?

Yes. This limited-edition 750 ml release was created in partnership with the United States Army to commemorate its 250th anniversary, making it a fitting ceremonial or collector's bottle for toasting milestones, honoring service members or sharing among bourbon enthusiasts.
