July 29 “Fred’s 5 Notes” (News From Bourbon & Spirits Industry): Mick Fleetwood On Peter Green, Interview & Tasting With Kyla Jade From “The Voice” & More
The world’s leading bourbon authority, Wall Street Journal-bestselling author and television personality Fred Minnick has released the new edition of “Fred’s 5 Notes,” a bi-weekly list of highlights from his popular podcast The Fred Minnick Show, insider insights and tips from the bourbon and spirits industry, as well as whiskey and bourbon tastings and ratings.
Here are “Fred’s 5 Notes” for July 29:
- Revisit Fred’s interview with Mick Fleetwood. Mick had plenty to say about his Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green, who died last week at age 73. (Fleetwood’s comments begin at 28:28.)
- Kyla Jade talked about life after “The Voice” and gave Fred grief about sending her whiskey that was too high proof for her vocal cords. Oops.
- Fred dished with sports radio personality Steve Czaban and fantasy football guru Paul Charchian about all things football–including Paul’s new fantasy football league Guillotine Leagues (and, well, a lot of other things)–while doing a blind bourbon tasting. Along the way, Czaban disses Blanton’s, saying, “Who forgot to bring the flavor?”
- What’s the best bourbon priced at $15 or less? Fred did a blind tasting of 10 different whiskeys he picked up at that sweet price point and narrowed them down to a Top 6, including one he previously hated. Which bourbon was the winner?
- Tune in Wednesday night at 6:30 PM ET, when Fred will take the next step, tasting and comparing a batch of bourbons priced between $16 and $25 and picking the winner.
