A friend of mine in the Philadelphia police department sent me a shot from the warehouse surveillance cameras. I can’t be sure. But I think I know who that is.

So what did they take? A case of Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old bourbon?

I can’t believe we have to buy a lottery ticket to win a chance to buy one bottle.

Guess I’ll stick with Elijah Craig.

1,000 cases are a lot of stuff. I think I would ask for a ransom rather than trying to fence it.

Elijah Craig small batch, Evan Williams bottled in bond, Member Mark single barrel. All economical and tasty.
