The History of Private Barrel Selections | 1972 Old Fitzgerald | Joe Wilson

Fred sits down with Joe Wilson, curator of the Whisky Auctioneer site, and discusses the hist ory of private barrel selections and the state of American whiskey in auctions.  In past auctions, Michter's and WhistlePig releases have been going head-to-head with Pappy Van Winkle, the most sought after bourbon in the contemporary sense.  They also taste a couple rare gems distilled at Stitzel-Weller in the 1950s and 1960s.
