Critics Review
“Minnick sprinkles in his quirky sense of humor here and there - he muses at one point that King Erik Bloodaxe has to be the best Viking name ever - but for the most part he plays the part of researcher and story-teller, a considerable skill he has honed over the course of his notable career as a writer and author (seriously, you can’t talk about bourbon literature without mentioning Minnick). … Mead is for a wide audience, an audience that is ever growing. Once again, Minnick is there to help guide us.” –AlcoholProfessor.com
