505			_aJulian Van Winkle III, the third-generation head of his family's business, is now considered the Buddha of Bourbon. He created Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve, the whiskey he created to honor his grandfather, the founder of the family concern. After his father's death, Julian had to sell the old distillery due to a downturn in the market for whiskey. However, a miracle happened when hundreds of special barrels of whiskey from the Van Winkle family distillery were saved by a multinational conglomerate. They offered to sell them to Julian, who scrambled to borrow funds to bottle the greatest whiskey in the world. The result was the hardest to find. Julian faced the challenge of preserving the taste of Pappy in a new age, and Wright Thompson was invited to be his wingman. The story highlights the importance of living up to one's legacy and the rewards of knowing and honoring one's people and craft.
