Dierks Bentley is a country music star. He also launched his own whiskey brand, ROW 94, in September 2024 in collaboration with the historic Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro, Kentucky. Recently, the brand announced the release of a new, limited-release bourbon.
ROW 94 Broken Branches
Named for his new album, it was made in partnership with Lofted Custom Spirits at the Green River Distilling Co. It begins with a mash bill of 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted and row barley. It’s matured for at least five years in new, level 4 charred American oak barrels using “Branch Aging” with fire-toasted oak staves seasoned for up to twenty-four months.
According to the brand, the result is a 100-proof whiskey that begins with a nose of vanilla beans, caramel, stone fruit, brown sugar, and butterscotch. The palate is a mix of fresh leather, candied nuts, cinnamon, smoke, and just a hint of spice.
“The new album Broken Branches is all about the cracks and scars that make us who we are, and I wanted this bourbon to carry that same spirit,” Bentley Says.
“We added seasoned oak staves to deepen the flavor and give it a little more character… kind of like the stuff life throws at you.”
