violentvixen 's review for:
Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last
by Wright Thompson
Was between 2 and 3 stars on this and went with 2, because I don't know who I would be able to recommend this too. I truly 100% do not care about Fatherhood and Southern Lifestyle or whatever. I wanted to read about the history of this whiskey and maybe 20% of the book is actually about that? I wanted more detail of the chemistry of what happens during "the trip" as this book calls aging, more detail on exactly what the crash was financially and why things got sold, etc. Instead these are only kind of touched on and instead of we have pages and pages of a dreamy/wistful family history.
It's very well written which is why I hovered at 3, and I absolutely see the sports journalism lineage here, but it's just not the topic I thought it would be.
