Bourbon
Owensboro owes its rich bourbon history to its setting along a rail line and waterway, its tremendous limestone water source, extensive oak forests, and the hard work of local grain farmers – the perfect recipe for producing the world’s greatest bourbon whiskeys. Our bourbon roots go back to 1885 to the original Green River Distilling Co., one of the oldest bourbon distilleries in the world. Owensboro’s staple bourbon attraction is the Green River Distilling Co., a sprawling whiskey distillery offering a behind-the-scenes look at how bourbon is really made.
