Now this is an announcement that goes right to my heart! Fellow Phoenix native, Dierks Bentley, has announced the launch of his very own whiskey, named Row 94 Bourbon.
ROW 94 Whiskey is made in Owensboro, Kentucky, at the historic Green River Distilling Co. The 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted and row barley blend is made with “three ingredients and the truth” and is aged for four years in new White Oak barrels. The final product is a 94-proof liquor featuring notes of vanilla, toffee, a subtle green apple flavor, and honey and tobacco finishing notes.

Through the process, I visited a lot of distilleries and we ended up partnering with one of the greatest in Kentucky. It’s been so much fun to be part of the ‘backstage crew’ and learn what it takes from start to finish and get to know the people who work there – it’s a uniquely American process in a lot of ways.”
Bentley isn’t the only one excited about this business venture; Green River Distilling is thrilled to partner with the country music star to bring this whiskey to life. Mark Erwin, CEO of Bardstown Bourbon Company and Green River, noted:
“Dierks’ passion for whiskey and doing things the right way was evident from the first time we met him. He loves the Green River Distillery and wanted it to be the home for ROW 94. We are excited to be partnering with him and his team on this great brand and look forward to seeing what they can do with this great liquid.”
ROW 94 launches later this month in Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Colorado, and Arizona, with additional states in 2025. The bottles are affordable at $39.99 per bottle.
