Green River making bourbon for Dierks Bentley

Green River Distilling has added more star power.

It recently made bourbon for Terry Bradshaw and Alan Jackson’s brands.

Now, it’s added Dierks Bentley to the list.

His ROW 94 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey will launch this month in Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Colorado and Arizona and at ROW94whiskey.com.

ROW refers to Nashville’s Music Row and 1994 was the year Bentley moved to Nashville to pursue his dreams.

He said, “I knew I wanted 94 proof because I like some bite, and that I wanted it aged for at least four years since that’s when it starts to taste best to me.”

It’s made with 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% rye and 9% malted and row barley.
