Reading this book is like drinking oxidized bourbon thanks to Wright Thompson's uncontrolled ego

I thought the book would be a deep dive into the intersection of Ketucky, bourbon and the Van Winkle family. However, almost half of the book, especially Part III, is Wright interjecting with his own family experiences. Wright also finds a way to bring his view of politics into the book which is unnecessary. By the end of the book, Wright can't help himself but boast to the reader how close he is to the Van Winkle family and describes all of the gifts that he receives. In summary, if you are looking for a book about bourbon, look elsewhere.
