On this episode of The Fred Minnick Show, Grammy-winning guitarist and songwriter Derek Trucks
joins Fred for a spirited conversation with plenty of whiskey sipping along the way.
Trucks, co-founder of the Tedeschi Trucks Band (with wife Susan Tedeschi) and member of the Allman Brothers Band,
has been a professional musician since his teen-age years, when he performed with Bob Dylan, Joe Walsh, Stephen Stills and others.

Here are the bourbons they tasted:
Weller Single Barrel (16:38)
Jefferson’s Reserve (21:13)
Parker’s Heritage (34:57)
Vintage Four Roses (45:16)

During the show, Derek tells the story of “The Viking,” a man he knew in Kentucky
who helped turn him onto bourbon in the early days, before the bourbon boom.
Derek was smart enough to stock up back when things like Weller 12 year were common place. (Smart guy!)
