The Bottle
Fred Minnick's palate is one of the most recognized in American whiskey — he's the author of Bourbon: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American Whiskey and a leading voice in the spirits world. The Club Marzipan selections are barrels he personally tasted alongside NBC's team and selected based on the flavor profile the club was after: rich, nutty, complex expressions with the marzipan character the club name implies.
Club Marzipan is Fred Minnick's private barrel club — a community of whiskey enthusiasts who collectively fund barrel picks with a specific flavor target in mind. NBC's collaboration with Club Marzipan produced two releases: a 7yr Kentucky 100% rye at 127.98 proof (#10077) and an 8yr Kentucky bourbon at 127.84 proof (#9009, Kelvin cooperage). Both are available exclusively through NBC / Buy Spirits Direct.
Fred Minnick is one of the most influential figures in American whiskey media. A collaboration with his Club Marzipan is a meaningful endorsement — these aren't celebrity vanity bottles, they're picks made by someone who has tasted thousands of barrels and knows exactly what he's selecting.
