- **Event Description**: Carmichael's is excited to host Fred Minnick for his new book, Bottom Shelf: How a Forgotten Brand of Bourbon Saved One Man's Life.About this EventAbout the Book:A forgotten bottle. A buried legacy. And one man determined to uncover the truth about his favorite bourbon.Before he became one of the most influential voices in American whiskey, Fred Minnick was a combat veteran wrestling with the invisible wounds of war. What started as a quiet exploration of taste and ritual soon became something more—a way to calm his mind, reconnect with his senses, and slowly rebuild a life.Today, Fred's palate shapes the industry. His reviews move markets, his instincts set trends. So when he casually named a dusty 1969 bottle of Old Crow as his all-time favorite in an interview, the response was seismic: prices soared from $40 to $3,000 almost overnight. But behind the buzz was a deeper mystery. Once revered by presidents, poets, and distillers alike, Old Crow had been stripped of its legacy and banished to the bottom shelf. Why was one of bourbon's most iconic brands abandoned—and what really happened to the whiskey itself?Part memoir, part whiskey-world investigation, Bottom Shelf unearths the forgotten history of America's most misunderstood bourbon—and reveals how one man's search for flavor became a fight to rediscover meaning, purpose, and truth in a world full of half-truths and tall tales.About the Author:Wall Street Journal bestselling author Fred Minnick discovered his bourbon passion after returning home from the Iraq War to become one of the world’s leading tasters. Cofounder of the Bourbon &amp; Beyond Music Festival with Danny Wimmer Presents, American Spirits Council of Tasters, and Bourbon+ magazine, he’s raised more than eleven million dollars for causes through bourbon and serves on the board of the Honorable Order of the Kentucky Colonels. His books, including Whiskey Women and Bourbon, earned international acclaim, while Fred is a co-host of the Bourbon Pursuit, Pin It Forward and Fourth &amp; Neat podcasts, as well as the host of a popular whiskey YouTube Channel.Once sipping bourbon backstage with Metallica, Fred's appeared on Top Chef, Pawn Stars and the Today Show. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky, with his wife and two kids, practicing Brazilian jiujitsu and rocking ascots—never together.
