In the world of bourbon, few bottles carry the weight of history like this one.
Green River Distilling Co., a name steeped in American whiskey heritage since 1885, has unveiled a special release to honor a monumental milestone: the 250th Anniversary of the United States Army. More than just a limited-edition bourbon, this bottle is a heartfelt tribute to the generations of soldiers who have served with courage and commitment.
Launching on June 14, the U.S. Army’s official birthday, this commemorative bottle arrives bottled at a symbolic 111.1 proof—a nod to Veterans Day (11/11) and the enduring strength of America’s armed forces. Crafted with pride at Green River’s distillery, this small batch release offers more than flavor—it offers reverence.
The whiskey itself lives up to the legacy it celebrates. Rich notes of caramel, black cherry, cocoa, and peppermint swirl together in a bold, full-bodied pour that doesn’t just demand attention—it commands respect. Every sip reflects not only masterful distilling but the spirit of service it was made to honor.
This isn’t just a collector’s item—it’s a cause in a bottle. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go toward initiatives that enhance the quality of life for soldiers and their families, making every purchase a direct contribution to those who serve.
Beginning June 14, the commemorative bottle will be available at select retailers, military bases, and Green River’s homeplaces in Owensboro and Louisville, Kentucky. Supplies are limited, making this a must-have for bourbon lovers, collectors, and patriots alike.
Green River’s deep-rooted connection to the U.S. military goes back over a century, and this release encapsulates that enduring bond. Created in official partnership with the U.S. Army, this is more than a whiskey release—it’s a salute in a glass, a toast to 250 years of unwavering service and sacrifice.
Raise your glass this June 14. Not just to bourbon—but to bravery.
