>> Thank you, Kelsey.

That's a great story.

Great program.

Now to a comeback story dating back to the 18.

100's Green River Distilling company who once made one of the world's most popular burdens before sitting dormant for many years.

Allure Rodgers takes us to the historic property in Owensboro where whiskey now flows once again.

Owns were used to be a mecca for distilleries.

The city was home to about.

22 of them pre prohibition.

>> Wedding Green River Distilling company.

It was started in 18.

85 by JW McCulloch.

It is the 10 oldest distillery licensed in Kentucky.

Still to this day, the most expensive bourbon ever sold was Green River be traded 20 barrels of Green River whiskey for a share of a Colorado gold mine called the Force Queen that mine panned out, making Green River would go make very good whiskey.

It was once among the most popular and widely advertised bourbons in the world before prohibition.

They went with whiskey without a headache, which of course they had to change because you can't say that.

Their slogan would become the whiskey without regret.

But the sport and would strike the distillery burning to the ground in 1918, prohibition happens.

Bourbon falls out of favor and it kind of went away there for a while.

And then in Twenty-twenty Green River was brought back home after over 130 years of being upset.

Today, they produce more than 100,000 barrels a year on the original property where it was made more than a century ago.

Some people like to say we're on hallowed ground.

It's a true American history.

What's true, Kentucky history.

There are 5 brick houses on the grounds.

27 in total storing close to half a million barrels of bourbon.

The one that we're currently standing in, his is called the clay tile Rick House.

It's 4 stories tall and holds 20,000 barrels of full proof.

Its latest release of 5 varieties.

We consider ourselves the Western gateway to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

>> They launched their first product of the revival and February of 2022, we were a big splash and it went over very well liked.

>> The operative word, Kentucky's water and soil make it ideal for distilling along with the climate.

We need all 4 seasons.

We get the harsh cold.

We get the warm summer's Green Rivers revitalization has been a big boost to Owensboro terrorism along with barbecue and bluegrass called the big little city.

It's just a fun place to come sitting right on the Ohio River.

Everything that we have here is authentic with a storied past being here in Owensboro.

We just make some really, really good Whiskey, Green River Distilling company is in good spirits about its future.
