Willie Nelson’s Old Whiskey River Bourbon, an award-winning, small batch, six year old bourbon, is to be featured at 944 Magazine’s Super Village Celebrity Poker Tournament in Phoenix during Super Bowl week.
J. Patrick Kenny, Drinks Americas’ Chief Executive Officer, commented “Willie Nelson’s Old Whiskey Bourbon, an award-winning, small batch, six year old bourbon, is growing well above both the national trend and the trend in its key states. Drinks’ sponsorship of 944 Magazine’s Celebrity Poker Tournament in Phoenix during Super Bowl week is the start of our high profile, targeted brand support that we think will continue to accelerate the brand’s growth. 944’s Super Village is expected to be one of the most star-packed places during Super Bowl week. Old Whiskey River is growing in almost every state where the brand is distributed.”
