Texas Whisky, Texas Music: Balcones and ZZ Top Join Forces

There are plenty of collaborations between whisky makers and the
entertainment world, from singers and bands to actors who want to
make their own whiskies. What's the key to making one of these
collaborations work? We'll find out from Balcones Distilling's
Jared Himstedt, who just released the Tres Hombres Texas Whisky
collaboration with the members of ZZ Top. We'll also taste
several other "celebrity" whiskies in the What I'm Tasting This
Week Department, too. In the news, bidding has already reached
$1.6 million in the Kentucky Bourbon Benefit auction to raise
money for Western Kentucky tornado victims! We'll have that
story, along with the latest update on a new round of
COVID-related lockdowns and whisky event changes, and on Behind
the Label, the story of one man who found a way to turn his
passion for whisky into a profit...without opening a single
bottle.
