The best book about Pappy

If you read my previous book review post, you would have seen that I was truly disappointed in the book Pappyland. This book, But Always Fine Bourbon, is what I was expecting from Pappyland. It is written by the granddaughter of Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle and she provides the definitive history of him, his family and how Pappy Van Winkle became the brand it is today.

5 star service

thanks for your quick response and delivery of my book. Pappy & company service is almost as good as the taste of a 10year old Family Reserve
Bourbon :)

Nothing but class

I have been wanting this book since I seen it at the Buffalo Trace distillery. We live four hours away and i regretted not picking up a copy while there. When I seen that I was able.to not only purchase the book, but also get it signed by the legendary Julian Van Winkle, it was an absolute must. The photography contained within the pages is absolutely stunning and the story of the Van Winkle family history is captivating. This is a must have if you love bourbon and gaining knowledge of where it all began.

Gift For: After randomly picking up Pappyland, by Wright Thompson, I wanted to know more about what led to the sale Stitzel-Weller.
Thoughtfully written memoir and interesting history of a fine bourbon family

Always Fine Bourbon is a memoir written by the granddaughter of Pappy Van Winkel. It’s about her memories growing up around her grandfather and grandmother, growing up in the family’s distillery business, bourbon history, the real story behind the sale of Stitzel-Weller, and the strong family bond that weathered the storm and survives today. I’ve become a big fan of the Van Winkel family.

Awesome Book

I purchased 2 of these books and Julian was gracious enough to sign both books. One was for a friend's 70th birthday.
It was the hit of the party.
