Fred Minnick Names American’s Best Everyday Bourbon via Forbes
December 16, 2019
Bourbon’s gone crazy.
In the past decade, good brands went from available to allocated and from $15 to $40. Now, bourbon fans grow angry over their inability to find precious gold they once regularly consumed. They find themselves waiting in line and participating in lotteries for the likes of Weller Antique, which once collected dust on the shelf.
This year, as I did last year, I solicited nominations from Bourbon Pursuit listeners, who are an engaged bourbon consumer base that understand what “everyday” truly means. For my qualifications, I limited them to products under $40, available in the majority of the states and it could not be a limited edition.
I assessed all nominations, validated them and tasted them live on YouTube to select my 2019 favorite for Best Everyday Bourbon.
