We have been wondering what Dierks Bentley has been up to lately. Well, now we know. Dierks Bentley has partnered with Green River Distilling Co. to create Row 94 Whiskey, a four-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 94 proof.

 

How It Came About

Bentley's interest in whiskey was sparked during the pandemic, leading him to delve into its history and production process.  The bourbon is made with 70 percent Kentucky-grown corn, 21 percent rye, and nine percent malted and row barley, aged in new white oak barrels with a level-four char. 

The Taste

Row 94 Whiskey has a classic profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and baking spices, making it approachable for various drinking occasions. Forbes.com says when beginning the process, Bentley identified a few non-negotiables. First up, he wanted to keep the price point under $40, which meant no super-long aging or fancy barrel finishes. And he was adamant that the whiskey be made in Kentucky.

Bentley is proud of the authentic Bourbon and is open to the possibility of launching new expressions in the future. Cheers.
