Pappy & Company

Founders and sisters, Louise, Carrie and Chenault Van Winkle, were inspired by the guiding principles of their great grandfather Pappy Van Winkle: to always create the best using the best. Seeing an opportunity to grow their legendary bourbon heritage into a lifestyle brand, Pappy & Company was born. Started in 2013, Pappy & Company is a bourbon-inspired retail and culinary brand that works to infuse elements of the bourbon culture into all of their products. Artisan goods include their famous bourbon balls, pepper sauce, and barrel-aged maple syrup. The apparel line features tees and golf shirts, hats and belts, neckties and bowties. The home and barware collection includes glasses, flasks and bar accessories as well as a limited edition furniture line and kitchenware. Lastly, is the exclusive cigar collection in partnership with one of the most sought after cigar producers in the world: Drew Estate. What unifies the Pappy & Company brand are thoughtfully made products with strategic partners that embody the values and craftsmanship of Pappy Van Winkle himself.
