Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last
by Wright Thompson
Second book in a row that was very different from the one I expected! I was afraid this was going to be very heavy on the bourbon history and chemistry and while I lost track of the Van Winkle lineage at some points, Thompson did a fine job of keeping the chapters short and not getting too lost in the weeds of history while writing about his time spent with Julian and, kind of unexpectedly, a lot about his own family (history). Part 3 felt a little long to me -- as if he were repeating a lot of what was covered in parts 1 & 2 or just driving the points further home, so the last 50ish pages were a bit of a slog, but overall, he somehow managed to be both high level and intimate and share a personal journey with us too.
