The whiskey that Julian produced after recovering those barrels would immediately be hailed as the greatest in the world\u2014and 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.<\/p>\n<p>Wright 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\u2014lessons that he couldn\u2019t 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.    <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<svg class=\"_Y3Itc_ai-branding-icon_1_-VZ\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1566_10942)\"><path d=\"M0.371705 14.3508C0.224179 14.1666 0.125828 14.0066 0.0829307 13.8779C0.0274777 13.7063 0.076653 13.6132 0.132106 13.5703C0.24929 13.4782 0.42088 13.5399 0.722209 13.7795C2.90999 15.5435 5.79773 16.2132 8.49504 16.2132C10.8858 16.2132 13.1343 15.6848 14.597 14.9168C14.8428 14.7881 15.0458 14.6835 15.1808 14.8247C15.2237 14.8739 15.2488 14.9231 15.2488 14.9848C15.2488 15.1324 15.1076 15.3228 14.8376 15.5624C13.264 16.9267 10.7885 17.701 8.22615 17.701C5.29551 17.701 2.2592 16.6809 0.372751 14.3518L0.371705 14.3508Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><path d=\"M14.2347 14.2212C13.9585 14.2766 13.7796 14.2766 13.7189 14.1354C13.6331 13.9387 13.8905 13.7671 14.174 13.6133C14.6292 13.3737 15.1387 13.245 15.6545 13.245C16.1704 13.245 16.7971 13.3988 16.9634 13.6384C17.135 13.8906 17.0555 14.5476 16.8902 15.0153C16.7238 15.5008 16.4236 15.9308 16.0364 16.2688C15.8586 16.4351 15.6681 16.5826 15.5206 16.5826C15.4714 16.5826 15.4348 16.5638 15.3982 16.5272C15.2758 16.41 15.3365 16.2572 15.484 16.0114C15.8837 15.3721 16.2216 14.4995 16.0678 14.2724C15.9077 14.0517 14.9745 14.0632 14.2368 14.2233L14.2347 14.2212Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><path d=\"M4.23556 13.2133C3.89866 13.0187 3.63709 12.7435 3.4519 12.3878C3.2667 12.032 3.17358 11.6261 3.17358 11.1678C3.17358 10.6175 3.31274 10.1351 3.59105 9.72079C3.86936 9.30646 4.26381 8.9863 4.77335 8.7603C5.28394 8.5343 5.88241 8.42131 6.56877 8.42131C6.87847 8.42131 7.13167 8.44328 7.32942 8.48618V8.29157C7.32942 7.80923 7.24467 7.45349 7.07413 7.22436C6.90358 6.99522 6.64306 6.88118 6.29046 6.88118C5.73384 6.88118 5.36868 7.1846 5.19605 7.7904C5.14687 7.96408 5.04748 8.03837 4.8989 8.01326L3.60047 7.7904C3.52618 7.77784 3.47073 7.74227 3.43306 7.68368C3.39644 7.62508 3.39016 7.54871 3.41423 7.45663C3.58163 6.80061 3.92481 6.29735 4.44377 5.94475C4.96377 5.59216 5.62189 5.41638 6.4202 5.41638C7.35976 5.41638 8.07437 5.67167 8.56299 6.18121C9.0516 6.6918 9.29643 7.43257 9.29643 8.40352V13.0794C9.29643 13.1474 9.27446 13.2049 9.23156 13.2509C9.18866 13.297 9.12902 13.32 9.05474 13.32H7.83059C7.69457 13.32 7.60773 13.2394 7.57111 13.0783L7.38592 12.2057H7.31163C7.14423 12.62 6.8973 12.9402 6.56982 13.1662C6.24233 13.3922 5.85207 13.5052 5.40112 13.5052C4.95017 13.5052 4.57351 13.4079 4.23661 13.2133H4.23556ZM5.45029 11.7433C5.61979 11.941 5.85102 12.0404 6.14189 12.0404C6.5311 12.0404 6.8272 11.8688 7.02809 11.5256C7.22898 11.1824 7.32942 10.6802 7.32942 10.0179V9.5356C7.18085 9.49898 7.01972 9.48014 6.84708 9.48014C6.33963 9.48014 5.93786 9.61302 5.64072 9.87878C5.34357 10.1445 5.195 10.5003 5.195 10.946C5.195 11.2797 5.27975 11.5455 5.45029 11.7443V11.7433Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><path d=\"M10.7248 13.3201C10.6506 13.3201 10.592 13.2981 10.548 13.2552C10.5051 13.2123 10.4832 13.1527 10.4832 13.0795V5.84233C10.4832 5.76804 10.5051 5.70945 10.548 5.66655C10.5909 5.62366 10.6506 5.60168 10.7248 5.60168H12.2095C12.3706 5.60168 12.4502 5.68225 12.4502 5.84338V13.0795C12.4502 13.1538 12.4282 13.2123 12.3853 13.2552C12.3424 13.2981 12.2828 13.3201 12.2095 13.3201H10.7248Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M14.5935 4.08912C14.7295 4.22514 14.7274 4.448 14.5893 4.58715L14.4637 4.71271L14.5872 4.83617C14.7232 4.97218 14.7211 5.19504 14.583 5.3342C14.4449 5.47335 14.222 5.4744 14.085 5.33838L13.9615 5.21492L13.836 5.34048C13.6979 5.47858 13.475 5.48068 13.3379 5.34466C13.2009 5.20864 13.204 4.98579 13.3421 4.84663L13.4677 4.72108L13.3442 4.59761C13.2082 4.4616 13.2103 4.23874 13.3484 4.09958C13.4865 3.96043 13.7094 3.95938 13.8464 4.0954L13.9699 4.21886L14.0954 4.09331C14.2335 3.9552 14.4564 3.9531 14.5935 4.08912Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><path d=\"M12.0964 2.53817L13.2337 3.12095C13.2724 3.14083 13.2724 3.19524 13.2337 3.21511L12.0964 3.79789L11.5136 4.93625C11.4947 4.97392 11.4403 4.97392 11.4215 4.93625L10.8387 3.79789L9.70037 3.21511C9.6627 3.19628 9.6627 3.14187 9.70037 3.12304L10.8387 2.54026L11.4215 1.40191C11.4414 1.36424 11.4958 1.36424 11.5146 1.40191L12.0974 2.54026L12.0964 2.53817Z\" fill=\"black\"><\/path><\/g><defs><clippath id=\"clip0_1566_10942\"><rect width=\"17\" height=\"17.3976\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0.0588379 0.301147)\"><\/rect><\/clippath><\/defs><\/svg><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book a tremendous job telling a true life tale, with beautiful writing that makes it easy to read.
