Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last by Wright Thompson

4.0

---

The Van Winkle story is fascinating! I love reading about what my home state is known for: bourbon and horses. Sports journalist Wright Thompson spent three years working with the Van Winkle family and the result is this fun examination of the brand, it’s history, and the folks behind it. By the end, you come to really adore Julian III, who, with his son, still oversees the operations of their elusive wheated bourbon.
