In the Van Winkle family, the bourbon business has always been a family affair. Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle founded Louisville’s Stitzel-Weller Distillery on Derby Day in 1935. A lifestyle brand built around shared experiences, celebrations both big and small, and stolen moments that allow us to slow down and enjoy life, Pappy & Company works with a network of like minded friends, partners, artists, and craftspeople to create a collection of fine bourbon-inspired products that range from barrel-aged pantry staples to small-batch cigars to thoughtfully-made homegoods.
