Bentley will greet fans and sign bottles of his new ROW 94 Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The meet and greet event is open to the public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. CST.

Having consistently climbed to the top of country music charts for 20 years, the Nashville-based artist remains an outlier in both altitude and attitude.

Bentley is known for songs like “What Was I Thinkin’” and “Drunk On a Plane”. His career has produced eight No. 1 albums, 22 No. 1 songs, eight billion global streams, three Country Music Awards and 15 Grammy nominations.

ROW 94 is partly named after the year Bentley moved to Nashville and began his journey into storytelling and entertaining, as well as Nashville’s Music Row. It is where he still resides with his family.

“Dierks’ passion for whiskey and doing things the right way was evident from the first time we met him,” said Mark Erwin, Bardstown Bourbon Company and Green River CEO.

ROW 94 is made at the historic Green River Distilling Co. in Owensboro.

It’s Bentley’s first Whiskey.

It’s made with 70% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted and row barley. The whiskey is 94-proof and aged for four years in new White Oak barrels. It boasts heavy notes of vanilla and toffee to start, with a subtle green apple flavor underneath. The whiskey finishes with hints of honey and tobacco. 

“Through the process, I visited a lot of distilleries and we ended up partnering with one of the greatest in Kentucky,” said Bentley. “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.”

The bottles are available on a first-come first-served basis. Event-goers must be 21 or older. Free tastings of ROW 94 will be served, and one lucky fan will win an acoustic guitar signed by Bentley.
