Great interview. Fan of Ian’s for a long time. Loved his character on the vamp show and also his love for bourbon. You can tell it’s a passion. Was going to purchase his bottle when it came out but passed due to 80 proof. Can’t wait to try the 100 and cask strength when it drops.

Super cool to see Ian focused on learning and taking it so seriously. You can tell he really loves this!

[@puremercury]

He is a legit bourbon guy, without question.

[@brenna143]

This entire video was so amazing to watch and listen to. Thank you for both of your time!

[@bababourbon4366]

Wonderful interview!! Thanks

[@whiskey3rd]

What an amazing episode, loved every minute.

[@Aircraftsystemst]

Great stream Fred, it would be great to have Ian back on a live stream in the future!! Hopefully Brothers Bond becomes available in the UK to purchase.

[@OurFlagshipWhiskeyChannel]

Ian and the Team are doing some amazing things. He said it best in that he is bringing another generation into Bourbon first, and then get into the mainstream. Fred said it best that the Brother's Bond Team is not pumping the brand on Social Media, yet out and about EVERYWHERE connecting people to the product. Fred, this was a conversation, not an interview. Really nice work.

[@FredMinnick]

I really appreciate that, Tim! Thank you.

[@samantafanti7438]

I am new to Bourbon, listened to several tasting sessions but this is the most interesting. I am surely buying one of Fred books, just trying to figure out which one to star with. Ian is so into Bourbon, these 90 minutes were very well spent. I am Italian and it's such a pity here Bourbon is not popular, while Scotch is actually everywhere. Thanks for this trransformational video. And always.. "vodka sucks" :-)

[@westhodges390]

WOW.. what a show, great. Everyone needs to watch this one.

[@BowlChad]

This was such a good livestream and tasting! Wish I could have watched it live, but this whole stream is what bourbon is all about! Sharing and drinking!

[@medievalsally]

That was a fascinating interview, I learned so much and laughed lots, thank you both so much x

[@FredMinnick]

Thank you for watching!

[@medievalsally]

@@FredMinnick I’ve honestly never been quite so entertained through an interview. Loved the stories back and forth. Underpinned by the obvious love you both have for bourbon and your remarkable palates and the whole regeneration/kiss the ground link. Cannot wait to try Brothers Bond when it eventually hits UK

[@eric1richards]

Really like the new intro!

[@whiskeywithe7907]

[@whiskeywithe7907]
