Kevin Martin of Candlebox sips on some 291, Michter's Cask Strength, Smoke Wagon Rare & Limited, Wild Turkey One and Eagle Rare 17 Year Old. Over drinks, Kevin talks about his favorite bands to hang out with at festivals and gets into the stories of 1990s rock. But it's when Kevin shares a personal Julian Van Winkle story, that you can see Kevin's really a whiskey nerd, even if he admits country music lends itself more for a band to start a whiskey than a rock band. He notes that fans want to see people's music not the band's face on a whiskey bottle, adding "Rock and Roll is cocaine and hookers."
