After the 25% Chinese tariff on whiskey went into effect in June 2018, Minnick further discussed the damage the state of Kentucky and the bourbon industry will suffer in the CNBC report “Whiskey wars: Trade tariffs hit hard in Trump country.” He also appeared on CBS This Morning and NPR. Minnick discusses Trump's threat to impose tariffs on steel imports and how that will affect the bourbon industry. On July 11, 2017, Minnick published “Will Trump Kill the Bourbon Boom?” in the New York Times. Bourbon + is a quarterly magazine that features high quality, in-depth coverage of all aspects of the bourbon industry. Later that month, he launched his own magazine, Bourbon +, as its editor-in-chief, along with founder and publisher John Thames.
Minnick announced in early July 2018 in a blog post that he would no longer be writing for Whiskey Advocate.
Minnick began professionally writing about wine and spirits in 2006 as a freelancer and has since written for The Tasting Panel, USA Today, Scientific American, New York Times, Stores Magazine, Parade Magazine, Caviar Affair, Whisky Advocate, Whisky Magazine, Sommelier Journal, Costco Connection, Bourbon Review, and Covey Rise. He reports on these and other prominent experiences in his book Camera Boy (Hellgate press, 2009) as well as overcoming post-traumatic stress disorder in 2005. Minnick documented many combat operations. After college, Minnick served as an Army journalist in Iraq from 2004 to early 2005. Minnick's first article was published in his town's local newspaper, the Oklahoma County News, when he was just fifteen years old. Minnick has served as the Bourbon Authority for the Kentucky Derby Museum since 2013 and was the bourbon headliner for the inaugural Bourbon & Beyond Festival and curated the Fireside Chats for the Forecastle Music Festival. He is noted for having a great whiskey palate, as he's a judge on the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, World Whiskies Awards and is the former lead American whiskey reviewer for Whiskey Advocate.
