Michael Bublé has entered the high-end spirit industry with the launch of his Fraser & Thompson Whiskey brand. The business endeavor is made possible through the Grammy-winning superstar's partnership with "longtime friend and award-winning Master Distiller and Blender Paul Cirka and fast-growing spirits incubator WES Brands."
A flagship product for Fraser & Thompson Whiskey is the North American Whiskey which is bottled and blended by Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Kenthuky. The ingredients are carefully selected by Cirka himself who aims to accurate a premium blend that betrays sweet fig and blood orange on the nose, and a subtle finish of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of spice.
About his business, Michael Bublé shares that "[he] spent many summers with [his] grandfather at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson rivers in British Columbia," hinting at the origin of the brand name.
