Green River Distilling Company is a whiskey-focused beverage producer based in Owensboro, Kentucky. Its heritage traces back to 1885 when J.W. McCulloch founded the original operation, which holds the DSP-KY-10 license as the 10th oldest licensed distillery in the state. The distillery was reestablished in 2022 and is described as the westernmost outpost of Kentucky Bourbon, operating as a small to mid-sized producer. In February 2026, the company launched the Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon and began distributing it in 25 markets. The Wheated Bourbon has earned recognition, being named World's Best Bourbon at a New York competition in 2025.
