Green River Sour Mash Wheated, 45%

Price: 35 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

The nose is pleasant, succulent, and sweet with apricot, orange wedge, a drizzle of honey, and a spoonful of applesauce. Those sweet notes stick on the palate, which is lush with Juicy Fruit gum, ripe raspberry, and pear. Chocolate lingers in the background, then cocoa and cinnamon add some nice dimension. There’s a lovely fruitiness to the finish, as grape jelly and fruit punch take center stage, balanced by more spice.
