Late American musician Gregg Allman, best known as a member of the legendary Allman Brothers Band, married singer, actress and television personality, Cher, in June 1975. The pair, who had one son, Elijah Blue Allman, finalized their divorce in 1979.
In the throwback video below from AXS TV, Gregg Allman – who passed away on May 27, 2017 at 69 years of age – talks about why his marriage with Cher didn’t work out, and tells famed journalist Dan Rather about the reasons his other marriages didn’t work out either.
Three Chord Bourbon, the acclaimed whiskey brand renowned for award-winning blends, innovative cask finishes, and philanthropic work in the music community, recently announced the release of its 2025 Backstage Series, a collaboration featuring the legendary Allman Brothers Band being announced to coincide with the anniversary of Eat A Peach which was released on fifty-three years ago today. This release is a meticulously blended spirit composed of 9-year-old straight Kentucky bourbon and 11-year-old Tennessee whiskey from a bourbon mash aged in re-charred barrels, finished for 3-6 months in peach brandy barrels from George Washington’s distillery at Mount Vernon.
Three Chord’s Allman Brothers blend costs $199.99, and is 107 proof. It is available to order here.
The idea for the collaboration originated in late 2022 with the Allman Brothers estate and David Spero, long-time manager of Dickey Betts, who saw an opportunity to bring the spirit of The Allman Brothers Band to new audiences while supporting the musical community. Inspired by the iconic album Eat A Peach, every detail of this limited edition offering – from the label design to the blend of bourbons and the custom peach brandy cask finishing – was developed collaboratively by the Allman Brothers Band and Three Chord Bourbon.
Other bands in the Backstage Series include Halestorm, Taking Back Sunday, Dinosaur Jr., and Black Stone Cherry. More information on Three Chord and the Backstage Series can be found here.
