0:08
Whiskey Fest Destin. It's an annual event held at the Manny Kelly Arts Foundation. Let's go check it out
0:30
Matt and Kelly Arts Foundation has been around for 25 years out here in Destin
0:36
They're part of the Northwest Florida State College System. They also put on Broadway shows, musicals, symphonies, and outdoor events like this
0:44
They have concerts in the park, an arts festival, wine dinners. They even have an outreach program for children, adults with special needs, and the military
0:52
Whiskey Fest Destin is a two-day event. This year it's being held at the end of June. They've got food
0:57
They've got whiskey tastings. They also have a bunch of bands, and headlining this weekend is Jefferson Starship and a Kenny Chesney cover band called Pirate Flag
1:05
which is a Kenny Chesney-approved cover band. And also playing tomorrow night, which is Saturday, is Drew Pendleton. He's one of my favorites
1:12
For general admission, you can bring your own lawn chairs, but VIP, they've got chairs set up for you
1:17
and if you buy a VIP table, you've got table and chairs. With VIP, you get free whiskey tasting
1:22
All right, I'm here with Billy, the CEO of Destin FM, and he's going to tell us a little bit about himself and the radio station
1:29
But first, can I tell you that I love you guys? I love you. I love watching your videos
1:33
And if you are watching this now, make sure you hit the subscribe because they're awesome
1:37
And they do all these things, first-timer stuff. It's really cool to watch. And we're here at Whiskey Fest Destin 2024, the very first ever
1:44
So if you're not here, it's okay. You're still part of history because you're watching this video
1:48
This thing is awesome. There's a lot of people out here. There's all these food trucks. And coming up is Jefferson Starship in a little while which is cool But we just partnered with this incredible company Emerald Coast Entertainment who we love I Billy Cerf I from Destin FM I was an iHeart guy for 100 years and Clear Channel all those stations And when I got to Destin I realized
2:09
there was no radio station, so we signed this one on, and the response has been really overwhelming
2:13
If you download the app, it's free in the App Store and Google Play. Really appreciate
2:17
that. We are app-based. We're Internet-based. Again, I was from, like, old-school radio with
2:22
the tower and stuff, you know what I'm saying? Those are all my friends, so I can't say anything negative about old school radio
2:27
because it's awesome and I loved it forever. But today, let's be honest, everything's in your pocket in your car
2:33
So that's what we're doing is we're doing it that way. And, again, we're just so blessed to have so many people that have been listening to us and love us
2:40
And thank you all. Well, thank you. It was really great to meet you. Let's go have a good time
2:45
Yes, whiskey. Hi, I'm Audrey. I was all about the legs and we sell turkey legs
2:54
I live right here in Fort Walter Beach. Come and see us. Standing in line for free whiskey, I got a free sample of turkey leg
3:02
All about the leg. Here we go, baby. Sure is all about the leg
3:13
Smoky, tender, delicious. I've never had a whiskey flight this extensive and it's included in the VIP
3:46
We're going to give them a little taste. We'll let you know what we think. All right, here we go
3:50
Mmm that light sweet don know what we drinking but that pretty tasty Whiskey It was hot
4:06
You're not gonna like that one. Oh boy. I don't think I like whiskey
4:17
There is a lot of whiskey and a lot of flavors going on right now
4:27
It's not much bad. It's just real strong. I'm already getting the sweats
4:34
If you want to try a wide variety of whiskeys, flavors
4:48
proofs, come out here. But man, be prepared because they pour those samples pretty strong
4:54
And it's hot. I'm already sweating. I think we're going to probably put the whiskey down for a little bit
5:04
Those are some premium grade A restrooms. Air conditioned, clean, well stocked
5:10
If you need to use a restroom and you're in the Destin area, come out to the Maddie Kelly Center of the Arts
5:16
and check out the Whiskey Festival because they got the best bathrooms. Besides the bar in the VIP area and the VIP food
5:45
around the perimeter you have multiple bars and a bunch of food trucks
6:04
Bye guitar solo
