This is the story of how Julian P. Van Winkle III, the caretaker of the most coveted cult Kentucky bourbon whiskey in the world, fought to protect his family’s heritage and preserve the taste of his forebears. Following his father’s death decades ago, Julian stepped in to try to save the bourbon business his grandfather had founded. Author WRIGHT THOMPSON was invited to ride along as Julian undertook the task. As he did in his book, Thompson will share what he learned from that journey, not only about great bourbon but about complicated legacies and the rewards of honoring your people and your craft—lessons that he couldn’t help but apply to his own work and life.
