Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits

This is a captivating exploration of the booming world of vintage spirits, featuring an acclaimed author and journalist, Aaron Goldfarb. It follows the passionate "dusty hunters" who hunt for old bottles of whiskey, tequila, rum, and chartreuse from estate sales, grandpa's liquor cabinet, and out-of-the-way liquor stores. Goldfarb and his team discover that spirits don't age like wine. For instance, a 1935 bourbon allows for a taste of Prohibition, while a 1940s rum cocktail tastes like a GI returning from WWII. An old Italian amaro captures la dolce vita in a glass, and vintage gin is a drinkable time capsule from Mad Men-era lunchtime martinis.
