Green River Distilling Co. is releasing its oldest product yet: Toasted Double Oak Bourbon, bottled at 115.1 proof at eight years old. The high-proof whiskey will be the first in the new Distillery Select line, an innovative series launched to allow Green River to experiment with proofs, finishes, and rickhouse selection. Toasted Double Oak Bourbon will be available at the Owensboro, Ky. distillery beginning June 20 and the brand’s tasting room in Louisville starting June 26.
Toasted Double Oak began with the distillery’s generic bourbon mashbill — 70 percent corn, 21 percent rye, and 9 percent malted barley — before maturing for eight years. The liquid then spent six months in lightly charred and toasted new, American oak barrels.
