“Green River 1885 was blended with classic cocktails in mind, and is the ideal combination of flavor and value. Like all Green River products, we honor our history while presenting bourbons that are relevant to what and how people drink today. It’s awfully easy to say on your next cocktail order, ‘make mine an ’85.'”
