Four Branches Bourbon has announced country music artist Dillon Carmichael as its newest brand champion, forming a partnership that unites premium bourbon with rising country star power to support veteran and first responder causes.

The veteran-owned spirits company, launched in 2023, represents the only bourbon brand founded by veterans from all four military branches – Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Their collaboration with the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter aims to further the brand’s message of “Serve Honorably. Drink Honorably,” and “Sip to Remember.” 

“We’re thrilled to be working with Dillon,” said Rick Franco, co-founder of Four Branches Bourbon. “Country music and bourbon are both quintessentially American and go hand-in-hand, but more importantly, Dillon’s interest in supporting the community aligns with our mission of raising awareness and funds to support veteran and first responder nonprofits.”

Dillon Carmichael Supporting Four Branches’ Mission

Carmichael is an up-and-coming country artist who has already earned wide critical acclaim. Rolling Stone called Dillon “country music’s most convincing young star since Chris Stapleton.” Additionally, Carmichael’s deep troubadour voice earned a comparison to Randy Travis from The New York Times. He will promote Four Branches’ mission throughout his upcoming summer tour schedule.

The partnership includes exclusive bourbon tastings and brand activations during pre-show and post-show events, giving fans opportunities to learn about Four Branches’ charitable work.

“I’m honored and excited to be joining the Four Branches’ team and work to raise awareness of the mission to honor the heroes among us and raise a glass to those who have served and continue to,” said Carmichael.

A Veteran-Founded Brand

Four Branches Bourbon has demonstrated significant commitment to its founding principles since launching last year. The company has donated more than $420,000 to nonprofit organizations supporting veterans and first responders.

Their inaugural release, The Founders Blend, was crafted by Hall of Fame Master Distiller Steve Nally. The 96-proof Kentucky bourbon features a unique four-grain mash bill and has already earned multiple industry accolades, including Double Gold at the SIP Awards.

The partnership represents a natural alignment between two entities with Kentucky roots and commitment to American traditions: premium bourbon craftsmanship and authentic country music that celebrates community values.
