Wheel Horse Straight Rye!

VERY OPEN about their source
- Owned by O.Z Tyler and Latitude beverage
- Produced by O.Z. Tyler
  - O.Z Tyler changed its name to Green river Distillery in 2020
- Nowhere on their site do they claim to be anything other than a green river product.
- This was the first rye out of Green River
- Green river was purchased by bardstown distilling in 2022
History of green river
- founded in 1885 by John W. McCulloch
- It was the first in owensboro
  - And the 10th distillery in Kentucky
- Like so many of these brands it passed through many hands and fell and rised in prominence throughout.
Jacob Call is the master distiller, a 7th generation distiller.
When they brought back the green river brand they talked with Rob McCulloch, great grandson of John, to make sure they got the story straight
- Its worth mentioning that “the story” is he sold whiskey and was a great marketer, thats it. There are little to no details on the original green river distillery other than a few awards it won and its slogan “Whiskey without regrets”
Latitude beverage
- Got its start in Wine. Shifting the cost structure to provide high quality wines by skipping out on buying vineyards… so sourcing wine.
  - It might be more complicated than that so don't rip them to hard for it
- They own a few other spirits brands
  - North Cross Irish Whiskey, Copper and Cask, Zarpado Tequila
The juice
- This sour mash Rye whiskey is made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It's distilled in copper stills then matured in 53-gallon, charred American oak barrels for between three and four years. Like all of our small batch whiskeys, Wheel Horse Rye is bottled at 101 proof and is non-chill filtered.
