Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon Review — Does It Live Up to the Hype?

This week on the Bourbon Bytes Podcast, I’m covering major whiskey headlines from around the world — including: 🥃 A new cask strength Ardbeg release 🥃 A wine-finished Redbreast from Ireland 🥃 An 18-year-old hazmat release from Barrell Craft Spirits And then… we get to the main event. Last year, Green River Full Proof Bourbon was my #1 whiskey of 2025. Now they’ve released a Wheated Full Proof Bourbon — and I’m giving my honest, independent take; breaking down the nose, palate, finish, value, and whether this one earns a spot on my shelf. Is it a worthy follow-up? Does swapping rye for wheat change the magic? And can it live up to the hype? Let’s find out. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation in the Discord: bourbonbytes.com   Chapter markers: 00:00 – Welcome + Episode Overview 01:32 – Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength Committee Release 02:57 – Redbreast Muscatel Finished Irish Whiskey 04:17 – Barrell Craft Spirits 18-Year Hazmat Curacao Finished Whiskey 06:04 – Byte-Sized Review: Green River Full Proof Wheated Bourbon 15:37 – Listener Shoutout & Where to Follow
