When J.W. McCulloch opened his Green River Distilling Company in 1885, he didn’t set out to make history. He just wanted to make Bourbon. Since then, Green River has gone on to receive international and national acclaim for its whiskey. The distillery has endured fire, Prohibition and a period of decline to reemerge as it stands today, with the restored Distilled Spirits Plant Kentucky #10 (DSP-KY-10) producing exquisite Kentucky Bourbon and rye.
