On this episode of The Fred Minnick Show presented by BAXUS, Fred’s guest is pitmaster icon Pat Martin.

Martin founded Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint in Nolensville, Tennessee, in 2006, focusing on West Tennessee-style whole hog barbecue. There are now several Martin’s locations around the south.

During the episode, Fred and Pat pair whiskey with all sorts of barbecue, from wings to brisket, while talking about how Martin got into barbecuing, hogs, the art of making brisket, Marines, candy and more.

Along the way, they pair the protein up with Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye, Jack Daniel’s Twice Barreled Rye, Michter’s 10 Year Rye, Russell’s Reserve 9 Year Barrel Pick, Buffalo Trace Prohibition Collection Spiritus Frumenti and a 28-Year-Old, 162-proof Obtanium Canadian Whiskey. Many paper towels fell victim during the feast.

Thanks to our sponsors for their support and to Pat Martin for being on the show!
