It’s pretty hard to throw an empty bottle of bourbon around and hit someone who hasn’t heard about Pappy Van Winkle bourbon. Everyone these days knows about the legendary bourbon and some have even gotten their hands on a bottle or two during the now annual release of Pappy bottles. But how many really know the history of Pappy Van Winkle?
Could you pass a Pappy test if one was issued to allow you to purchase a bottle of his bourbon?
If you had read “But Always Fine Bourbon” by Sally Van Winkle Campbell you’d be in pretty good. Sally’s book details the incredible story of Pappy Van Winkle and Stitzel Weller bourbon.
Here’s the book’s description from Amazon.com:
“But Always Fine Bourbon” is the story of the Stitzel Weller Distillery, which, for a large part of the 20th century was known for making the finest bourbon in the world. It’s the tale of the Van Winkle family, of the legendary “Pappy” Van Winkle, of an era when businesses were still run by larger-than-life men who had other priorties than maximizing the bottom line. It’s the story of the American Dream: the creation of a family company, so common a part of this country’s history, but now disappearing in our age of mergers and acquisitions. It’s a story anyone with an interest in bourbon, or Kentucky, or the history of this country will relish. The book is filled with large beautiful photographs.
The book is a moving tribute to Pappy Van Winkle’s legacy and it is as beautifully crafted as the bourbon that bears his name. I’ve only begun reading my copy and I can already tell it’s going to have a place of honor on my coffee table for years to come.
