Julian Van Winkle, the third-generation head of his family''s business, is now thought of as something like the Buddha of Bourbon - Booze Yoda, as Wright Thompson calls him. A bottle of the 23-year-old Pappy starts at [3000 on the internet. From an industry and a business in crisis, Julian Van Winkle III has taken Pappyland to new heights whilst honouring his family legacy and the craft of making delicious bourbon.
