The whiskey that Julian produced after recovering those barrels would immediately be hailed as the greatest in the world--and soon would be the hardest to find. Once they had been used up, a fresh challenge began: preserving the taste of Pappy in a new age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWright Thompson was invited to ride along as Julian undertook the task. From the Van Winkle family, Wright learned 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. May we all be lucky enough to find some of ourselves, as Wright Thompson did, in Pappyland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wright Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780735221253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/05\/2021 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWright Thompson is a senior writer for ESPN and the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cost of These Dream\u003c\/i\u003es and \u003ci\u003ePappyland\u003c\/i\u003e.
