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

When the award-winning journalist Wright Thompson approached our dad Julian Van Winkle about telling his story—how Dad set out to save our family’s storied bourbon legacy...one barrel at a time—he didn't quite realize what he’d signed up for. He'll be the first to admit, he’s not a natural talker, but Thompson amplified his voice and spun Dad’s truth-is-stranger-than-fiction tale with authenticity and soul. It’s a book our family will cherish for generations, and we hope the bourbon lovers in yours will, too.

Please note the pages of this book are designed with a rough cut or "deckle edge," meant to mimic uncut paper for a more genuinely antiquarian feel. Much like the story you will find inside these pages, this element begets a sense of true authenticity.

Havent completed my read yet

The paper of the book was very poorly trimmed. The unbound side of the book looks like a mouse chewed on it. Each "bundle" of sheets is good on the bound side, the open side is very very poor quality. Unfortunately, this was my signed copy.

Product Ideas: Presents for bourbon lover and addition to silent auction I donate to a Childhood Cancer 5013C. Wish I had gotten more.
Loved the autograph.

Present and one for a Bourbon basket I donate every year to a nonprofit organization silent auction. DC Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation which I am Director of Development and Fund Raising Volunteer. This year the basket donated grossed $1,000.00. No Pappy Van Winkle in it. But I thought this book autographed will be a great addition.

Helped me re-live my youth with Julian and his family

Wright does a job comparing his "upbringing" in relationship to how Julian was raised and proceeded to become his own man
