Louisville, KY – September 12, 2025 – ROW 94 Whiskey, founded by country music superstar Dierks Bentley, is proud to team up with Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) this September and October to offer fans and bourbon lovers a one-of-a-kind surprise. Beginning Friday, September 12, a life-sized Dierks hologram will welcome travelers to Louisville, share the story of ROW 94, and point them towards exclusive signed bottles and limited offerings of ROW 94’s Broken Branches Bourbon at the airport’s Distillery District Marketplace. Distiller District Marketplace is located in the post-security rotunda area, near the entrances to Concourses A and B.
