Bob Hird

Old Rip Van Winkle, Bourbon Heritage, and the Reality of Allocated Whiskey This episode is a compilation of multiple conversations with the very awesome and down to earth Preston Van Winkle. Dan Sneddon and Bob Hird were joined by Alex Derthick, and after a technical failure wiped out most of the first recording, Dan came back for round 2. The discussion covers the Old Rip Van Winkle family story, how the lineup evolved, and why production, warehouse space, and barrel entry proof matter so much in bourbon. It is especially useful for listeners who want the history behind the bottles and the practical realities behind limited supply. At the end, they also toast with Pappy 23 Year and Pappy Traditional Cigars from Pappy&Co. See our links below!
