ROW 94 is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, offering heavy notes of vanilla and toffee to start with a subtle green apple flavor underneath and finishes with hints of honey and tobacco.

Country music superstar Dierks Bentley launched his first whiskey, ROW 94, in Connecticut via Star Distributors. Using only three ingredients, premium grain, purified Kentucky limestone water and cultivated yeast, the bourbon reflects Bentley’s dream to create a bourbon that he and his fans can enjoy. “A lot of years of thinking, researching and trying different whiskeys went into creating ROW 94,” said the singer. “It’s been an evolution—from drinking basically any whiskey handed to me back in college, to it becoming something I enjoy tasting and sharing with friends. 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. ROW 94 is a serious whiskey that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and I’m glad we finally get to share it.” Distilled at Green River Distilling Co., founded in 1885 and renowned as the 10th-oldest licensed distillery in Kentucky, ROW 94 is made with 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted and row barley. It’s a 94-proof whiskey aged for four years in new white oak barrels with a level 4 char that penetrates deep into the staves for greater complexity and character.
