Description

A compelling portrait of Julian Van Winkle III and his determined effort to protect his family’s legacy while preserving the distinctive character of Kentucky’s most coveted bourbon. Against the backdrop of changing tastes, corporate pressures, and a rapidly evolving American whiskey culture, the book explores heritage, craftsmanship, friendship, and the often-unseen labor behind an iconic name. It is also a larger story about the American experience—about resilience, hope, tradition, and the promise of creating something lasting. Richly reported and warmly told, it offers an intimate look at the people, places, and ideals that make a spirit—and a legacy—endure.
