Aussie Bourbon Lovers

Green River Wheated Bourbon and a Great Lesson in Tasting Bourbon


Listen Later

In this special episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we’re joined by Caryn Luz, National Brand Ambassador for Green River Distilling Co., as we explore their wheated bourbon — a near-identical twin to their flagship high-rye bourbon.

We explore:

  • 🧪 What happens when you swap wheat for rye in a mashbill

  • 🥃 How the same char, yeast, and age delivers two very different pours

  • 🎓 Caryn’s bourbon tasting advice (for Aussies who usually add Coke)

  • 🔥 Her journey from teaching and firefighting to leading bourbon tastings across the U.S.

  • 🍞 Sweetness, softness, and what “soft red winter wheat” really means

    This one’s packed with insight — from nose to finish.
