News: Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Flying Pig Available Through Pappyco.com

Drew Estate announces today the shipping of the Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Flying Pig to Pappy & Co, owned and operated by the Van Winkle Family.

News: Two from Drew: Fabian Leaving and 6×60 Fat Bottom Betty

I get to start out my joblessness with just about the worst head cold I’ve had in a very long time. So here’s some news out of Drew Estate.  I was surprised that Fabian announced his resignation.
