Pappyland : a story of family, fine bourbon, and the things that last / Wright Thompson.

Thompson, Wright, (author.).

Summary:

People stand in long lines to get Julian Van Winkle to sign their bottles of Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve, the whiskey he created to honor his grandfather, the founder of the family concern. He'd just stepped in to try to save the business after his father had died, after having been forced to sell the old distillery in a brutal downturn in the market for whiskey. Then it turned out that hundreds of very special barrels of whiskey from the Van Winkle family distillery had been saved by the multinational conglomerate that bought it; they offered to sell it to Julian. Thompson provides a testimony to the challenge of living up to your legacy and the rewards that come from knowing and honoring your people and your craft. -- adapted from jacket
