CD, if you could, please PM me his address and advise the next time he and his family will be out of town. @MJMGator and @alcoholica , I might need a little help with what I’m planning.

dibs on the Pappy

About 10 years ago there was a great Pappy heist. You might have heard about it. Someone stole barrels of Pappy out of the distillery. Lots of rumors swirling around but the sheriff eventually found some of it. The paper said that they properly disposed of the stolen Pappy by pouring it out. At least that's what the papers said...

Yea

yeah, they had to pour it out because who knows what was done to it.

highly suspect if it was Pappy though. My understanding is that certain barrel locations are designated for certain labels. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything other than distillery on the barrels and the number. So they would have to know which barrels are Pappy and know what the ages are. Not sure who was involved inside though. Could you imagine stealing a three year old barrel of Pappy?

on a side note, Booker said he knew which barrels were best because the workers would wipe the dust off the barrels by leaning on them when they were stealing bourbon

I'd always heard it was an inside job but those were rumors. Highly doubt they poured all of it out though. There was probably a spontaneous bonfire on a good ol' boy farm in the boondocks.

My neighbor had several bottles of it and asked Seedy to do shots with her. He was sipping it so she assumed he didn't like it. He was just trying to enjoy it

Who the Fuchs shoots bourbon

 

[GatorBart]

Yea they are based in Seattle...I think they poached their master distiller from Makers.

Just north of Seattle, 20 minutes from my house. Lot of wineries in Woodinville too.

Was not too bad. Went well with a shrimp boil and tomato pie

Used to be a steal at $30. Sometime around 2018 or 2019 the bottles started getting really inconsistent. Right before the price hike.

You gotta be shtiing me, Pyle. Haven’t you ever watched a cowboy picture?

no proof that's bourbon, plus it's hollyweird, plus the character is a drunk, plus even if all the above is false....it's dumb to shoot it.

Tomato pie?

I'm guessing this isn't some euphemism for pizza, right?

What's a tomato pie?

Won a bourbon competition in 2019 and prices needlessly shot up.

I’d have to ask my friends when they noticed the inconsistency in the bottles, but 2019 at the latest.

I found a bunch of 2015’s before they made their observation.

I noticed Sazerac Rye on the shelves at Total Wine. Maybe I’ve been absent, but I haven’t seen it easily available outside of NY in years.

I haven't seen it in a while, but there are a lot of comparable or better ryes. Apparently, New Orleans is always loaded with Sazarac.
