PREFACE
T he distillery was paradise to us. We would turn the corner into Fitzgerald Roadsmall kids in a big car with our larger-than-life dadand right away the pungent odor of the whiskey shot through us and made us gasp. And the smell stayed in us the whole time we were there. Sometimes we caught a whiff of it way before the road, way before Shively. Turning left into Limestone Lane through ivy-covered stone pillars, there was a tiny guardhouse just to the right. No gatethe guard would just sort of wave us throughmore hello than anything.
Limestone Lane was lined with tall, beautiful oak trees. Long ago, Mr. Stitzel had said that someday those trees would alter the taste of the whiskey. And they would have, if he hadnt known all there was to know about making bourbon and prevented it from happening. Just behind the trees on the left stood quiet gray warehouses, rows of them, with their very Southern front porches and hundreds and hundreds of windows. The whiskey slept thereand got ready.
Often on Saturdays or Sundays, Dad would take us to the office with him. The office was Stitzel-Weller Distillery, our distillery, home of Old Fitzgerald bourbon. It had been founded by my grandfather, Julian Proctor Van Winkle, Sr., and Alex T. Farnsley and A. Ph. Stitzel. It opened on Derby Day, back in 1935.
In 1893, when my grandfather was nineteen years old, he had gone to work selling whiskey for a company called W. L. Weller and Sons. He soon became both secretary and treasurer of the famous old blending firm, and in later years, as its president, he was responsible for the connection between the house of Weller and A. Ph. Stitzel, Inc. In 1933, just as Prohibition was coming to an end, the two companies formally merged, and Stitzel-Weller Distillery was born. My grandfather was president of Stitzel-Weller for thirty-one years, until in 1964, at the age of ninety, he assumed the position of Senior Proprietor and passed the baton to his son, my father, Julian Proctor Van Winkle, Jr. Dad had already been with the company for some thirty-seven years, having started out rolling barrels during his teenage years and becoming vice president in 1945, upon his return from the Army.
For four decades, Stitzel-Weller Distillery thrived and was known for making the finest bourbon in the world. At its height, the company employed 220 people, was producing 800,000 cases of bourbon per year, and my grandfather had become one of the best known executives in the United States.
And then, on June 30, 1972, the company was soldgone.
I went back to the distillery on a warm, dark afternoon in January, 1994. The old place looked friendly, which was not what I had expected. I had been dreading this trip, knowing I would find the place desertedand depressing. As I turned my car into Fitzgerald Road, I hit the button to lower all the windows, and I breathed deeply. No smell. Turning left into Limestone Lane, I tried again. Nothing! But that was the worst of itafter that the trip got better.
