FAQs

What makes Greenwood 1906 Bourbon special among Black‑owned bourbons?

Greenwood 1906 is the brand’s premium wheated bourbon rendered at 100 proof, aged to emphasize oak and sweet wheat character without overwhelming rye spice. It showcases depth and balance within a Black‑owned spirits portfolio.

Can I drink it neat or do I need to mix it?

Yes — it’s crafted for sipping neat or on the rocks. Its clean finish also makes it suitable for stronger cocktails such as a stirred Boulevardier or a Bourbon Old Fashioned.

Is it a beginner‑friendly bourbon?

Relatively yes — the wheated mash and smooth finish make it more approachable than high‑rye, aggressively spicy bourbons. But at 100 proof, it still has presence and warmth, so newcomers should sip slowly.

What is the mash bill or grain recipe?

The publicly available sources do not confirm an exact mash bill for Greenwood 1906. (If you have that, it can be added.)
