Music icon Daryl Hall of Daryl Hall & John Oates and the television show Live From Daryl’s House joins author and bourbon authority Fred Minnick by phone for the new episode of The Fred Minnick Show podcast, available this Friday, June 12. Hall and Minnick sampled unique and sometimes rare whiskeys from around the U.S. while discussing Hall’s music career, including a new album in the works, life in general and each of their struggles with Lyme disease.
Minnick explains, “Daryl Hall is such an icon. I don’t think you can walk a block in New York City without hearing a Hall & Oates song. But what a lot of people don’t know about this rock icon is that Daryl‘s palate is unbelievable. On his show, Live From Daryl’s House, he breaks out some good wines. On this episode of the podcast, Daryl and I sipped some great whiskeys, talked about his career and our mutual nemesis–Lyme Disease. It was a great interview, and I love Daryl‘s approach to whiskey.“

Last week, The Fred Minnick Show podcast paused to put a spotlight on an even more important conversation. Minnick encouraged his listeners to watch the Du Nord Benefit: For the Love of Whiskey, Race, Progress and Diversity, an empowering discussion on diversity organized and moderated by Minnick, with a panel of spirits industry leaders who share a vision of hope and desire for positive change. The archived conversation can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/-fuH8aSQVhw
The panel conversation was also created to draw attention to the Du Nord Riot Recovery Fund, a GoFundMe created by Chris & Shanelle Montanaof Du Nord Craft Spirits in Minneapolis to support “black and brown companies affected by the riots.” The Montanas’ distillery was lost in the Minneapolis civil unrest.
