The Green River Distillery, originally founded in 1885, holds the historic designation DSP-KY-10, making it the 10th oldest distillery registered in Kentucky.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What is a "Private Select" or "Single Barrel Selection"?
A: This means that the team at Nestor Liquor has sampled various barrels from the distillery and chosen this specific one for its unique and desirable characteristics. This barrel is then bottled exclusively for them, offering a one-of-a-kind product.
Q: What is a "high-rye" bourbon?
A: A "high-rye" bourbon, like this one with 21% rye, uses a higher percentage of rye grain than many typical bourbons. This results in a spicier, more robust flavor profile that balances the sweetness from the corn.
Q: Who is Roadkill?
A: Roadkill is a character from the popular vehicle combat video game series Twisted Metal, which has also been adapted into a television series. The 'Twisted Green Roadkill' theme is a nod to this character and the Green River brand.
Q: How should I drink this high-proof bourbon?
A: Given its high proof and complex flavor, this bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and slightly temper the alcohol. A single large ice cube also works well to slowly chill the spirit.
Q: Where can I purchase the 'Twisted Green Roadkill' Single Barrel?
A: This is an exclusive private barrel selection available only through Nestor Liquor. Please check their inventory directly for availability.
