Owensboro Distilling Co. has launched three new bourbons with Heidelberg Distributing Company. The whiskeys, which pay homage to Kentucky and the region’s vibrant bourbon culture, recently hit shelves in the greater Owensboro area in time for holiday occasions and gifting.
The newly named Owensboro Distilling Co. is part of the Green River Spirits Co. and produces a variety of whiskeys at the historic Green River distillery.
Yellow Banks, Humble Bee and Ladder #9 will be available at retailers exclusively in the greater Owensboro area. For more information, visit www.owensborodistilling.com.
About the new bourbons:
- Yellow Banks celebrates the rich history of distilling in Owensboro. Refined, smooth and sweet, this whiskey is made with 100% Kentucky-grown corn and was developed in collaboration with the Kentucky Corn Growers Association with a portion of the profits going to corn research. (46% Alc. by Vol/92 Proof)
- Humble Bee is made with a touch of honey harvested from the distillery’s farm-raised bees. It has a rich caramel, honey and vanilla aroma with a delicate balance of floral, herbal and nutty cocoa notes. As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, a portion of proceeds will be donated to help preserve a healthy bee ecosystem. (45% Alc. by Vol./90 Proof)
- Ladder #9 is sweet and spicy, made with natural cinnamon flavor. It has a bold cinnamon aroma and upfront heat, followed by a lingering sweetness. The whiskey was crafted as an expression of gratitude to the local firefighting community. (35% Alc. by Vol./70 Proof)
“Owensboro has a rich bourbon heritage, and we’re proud to be a part of it,” said Jacob Call, Master Distiller. “We’re thrilled to share these three new whiskeys exclusively with the local community thanks to Heidelberg Distributing Company. Heidelberg is a family-owned company, with a long-standing commitment to the region. We’re proud to be working with them on this launch.”
Joshua Mulberry, general sales manager for Heidelberg Distributing Co. said their company’s culture is one of celebration.
“When you celebrate, we’re there,” he said. “With that, we are proud to celebrate the newly revived Green River Distilling Co. by partnering up on the launch of these incredible new brands.”
