Fred Minnick & Friends’ Big Game Bourbon will feature appearances by NFL legends, celebrities, fellow spirits experts and others to kick off the Big Game week. Attendees can expect opening remarks from Vanderpump Rules’ celebrity bartender Tom Sandoval, who will also host a Tom Tom Pop-Up Cocktail Hour followed by live musical performances throughout the night, the best-of-the-best bourbons, gourmet appetizers, a silent auction and more. 

Minnick will tape an episode of his award-winning The Fred Minnick Show with a surprise guest musician (to be aired at a later date), treat the audience to a sensory spirits tasting training, and host his Blind Bourbon Live experience where attendees will vote for their favorite bourbon. The winner will receive a bid for Minnick’s Top 100 Whiskeys for 2024.

Proceeds from the event, which is produced by 88 Vines Entertainment & RCRE8IVE, will go to support Las Vegas veterans charity Forgotten Not Gone, a cause close to Minnick who served in the Iraq War.

Fred Minnick & Friends’ Big Game Bourbon follows Minnick’s live virtual tasting of his Top 100 Whiskeys for 2023, which happened Wednesday, December 20th. Watch the full blind tasting, here: youtube.com/live/IQ9rv7VMsZU?si=TJpYDrvyOmhsl8jO
