DALLAS, Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Grammy-winning, multi-platinum superstar, Michael Bublé, announces the launch of Fraser & Thompson, his new whiskey brand in partnership with longtime friend and award-winning Master Distiller and Blender Paul Cirka. Michael took to social media to share the news, as if a project three years in the making could come together with just the push of a button. The plan is to support the brand with an integrated marketing campaign to be announced soon, assuming Michael has enough time within his schedule of touring, squeezing in a mid-day nap, and knotting the perfect bow tie (it's harder than it looks).

Key Points: 
  • It strikes us as supremely ironic that a guy with such an extensive catalog of music has mastered radio silence.
  • "When I heard Paul's vision for creating a new kind of whiskey, I knew instantly what I wanted to call it.
  • The creative blending process curated by award-winning Master Distiller and Blender Paul Cirka, co-founder of the brand with Bublé, sets Fraser & Thompson apart.
  • I think this is an issue, but when I raised it with Michael, his response was, "You're welcome."
