  • Whiskey Consensus
  • By Matthew Evans
  • Green River Toasted Double Oak is an outstanding example of how a secondary barrel finish can elevate a whiskey without overshadowing its foundation.

  • The dark-fruit profile is so prominent that I might have considered it was aged in Armagnac or Cognac casks had I tasted blind.

  • Breaking Bourbon
  • By Eric Hasman
  • Green River's first Distillery Select release pairs the distillery's oldest bourbon to date with a toasted oak finish, creating a rich, sweet-and-spicy crowd-pleasing pour that showcases why the new series is off to such a strong start.

House Review
  • Nose:

    The nose is distinctive and creamy, full of cheesecake, heavy whipping cream, browned butter and leather.

  • Taste:

    The mouthfeel is nicely mouth-coating, dry and tannic, with a good bit of heat. The palate is pretty dark and musky, opening with toasted oak and then introducing black cherries, apple, grape jam and leather and tannin on the back of the tongue. That interesting cheesecake note from the nose is here on the palate, as well.

  • Finish:

    Medium in length. Toasted oak, blackberries and red grape skin open the finish, followed by plum, apricot and orange zest. The finish concludes with a touch of burnt marshmallow and a big hit of oak.

  • Overall:

    A perfectly aged, really distinctive and enjoyable bourbon. The dark-fruit profile is so prominent that I might have considered it was aged in Armagnac or Cognac casks had I tasted blind.
