Originally built in 1885, the Green River Distilling Company has housed distilleries for nearly 130 years.

Unfortunately, in 1918 the entire distillery burned to the ground but was later rebuilt in 1936 after prohibition. Today, Green River Distilling Co. is never fully satisfied with the status quo and continues to innovate Bourbon production.
