Bourbon critic Fred Minnick lifts his glass to Slipknot percussionist Clown (Shawn Crahan) and producer Cedar Ridge Distillery in a Forbes review of No. 9, the official Slipknot whiskey set for release as the band hits the Iowa State Fair stage this August. Slipknot’s No. 9 “puts Iowa whiskey on the map and is the best liquid distilled there,” wrote the well-regarded critic, adding that Crahan could have a bright future as a whiskey blender.
