Green River Kentuckey Straight Rye Whiskey

Appearance: Rich auburn with a polished mahogany hue, showing a warm, inviting depth in the glass.

Nose: Fresh and expressive. Bright orange peel and spearmint rise first, followed by soft vanilla, light graham cracker sweetness, and a gentle herbal note that hints at the high rye content.

Palate: Smooth yet lively. Zesty citrus and cool spearmint lead into a balanced core of vanilla and graham cracker. A touch of black pepper adds structure without overpowering the softer sweetness beneath it.

Finish: Clean and medium in length. Subtle rye spice lingers alongside herbal tea notes and soft oak, leaving a smooth, refreshing impression that invites another sip.

Neat or With a Splash of Water: Enjoy neat to appreciate the balance of citrus, mint, and spice, or add a few drops of water to highlight the sweeter vanilla and graham cracker notes.

Classic Rye Cocktails: This whiskey works beautifully in cocktails where rye spice shines:

• Manhattan
  
• Old Fashioned
  
• Whiskey Sour
  
• Rye Highball with soda and a twist of orange peel
  

Food Pairing Ideas: Pairs well with smoked meats, roasted nuts, sharp cheddar cheese, or dark chocolate desserts, which complement the whiskey’s citrus brightness and gentle rye spice.
