The steroids are a clue as to how they were able to move the barrels. Where’s Sherlock Holmes when you need him? ;)

Obviously this is a significant amount of bourbon. ..." Sheriff Pat Melton said.

Significant, indeed.

[Steely Tom]

“You know what we do to people who steal whiskey in Franklin County, bo-ah?”

[ColdOne]

I wonder how much of the ‘evidence’ will end up in one or two of the detectives private bar?

[Obadiah]

Let’s see... Fort Knox or Wild Turkey? Hmmmm....

[tanknetter]

Here’s the kicker. The theft of the Wild Turkey was magnitudes larger than the Pappy in size terms..

But the theft of the Pappy was magnitudes larger in dollar terms.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I just use a barrel dolly. I move 500 pound barrels all the time, and I’m 68.

The sweet aroma of the Angels’ Share would have drawn attention to the barrels someday anyway.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, sheet! Who DOESN’T knock back their steroids with a couple fingers of bourbon. Come on, People! *SNORT*

[mfish13]

Aren’t all turkeys wild?

[WayneS]

...or maybe it was aliens.

[G Larry]

What was their proof?

[Red Badger]

It was in his backyard!
That’s ALL the ‘proof’ they needed!.......................8^)

[Red Badger]

No, some are ‘domestic’........................

[Red Badger]

in this case the ‘Devil’s Cut’............................

[Red Badger]

Well I’m not connoisseur of whiskey, but this guy had much better taste............

[PoloSec]

I stumbled upon a barrel of bourbon the other day and kept on stumbling for several days thereafter. (W.C. Fields IIRC)

[G Larry]

“I don’t know where my receipts are!”

“You got receipts for the booze at your place?”

(86 or 100 were the answers I was waiting for....)
