We discuss David's journey into the world of whiskey, his passion for Wild Turkey, and his experience writing books on the subject. We also touch on the importance of being passionate about what you write, the process of designing and publishing a book, and the interactive nature of David's latest book, "Wild Turkey Musings." We delve into the concept of dusty whiskey and the challenges of finding authentic vintage bottles. The conversation also covers the significance of barrel picks and the unique experiences David has had in selecting barrels at Wild Turkey.
