"Tom Beckbe’s Founder, Radcliff Menge, claims to be a fan of the Van Winkle family business since he could “legally be one” (and perhaps a little before then). He started Tom Beckbe as a hobby while he was practicing law full-time, and slowly grew into the business that it is today. But it was the matchmaking of our mother’s that officially brought these two brands together. They say that moms knows best, and in this case, they did. Seeing like minded brands sharing the same values and quality driven products, this was an easy partnership to forge."
