Vintage Whiskey May Be Poured Out
Law Requires Officials Destroy Whiskey That Cannot Be Sold Legally
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Here's a sobering thought: Hundreds of bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey, some of it almost 100 years old, may be unceremoniously poured down a drain because authorities suspect it was being sold by someone without a license.
Officials seized 2,400 bottles late last month during warehouse raids in Nashville and Lynchburg, the southern Tennessee town where the whiskey is distilled.
fragbert is quoted as saying "Noooooo!"
In comments tofragbert 's f-locked entry, lovellama suggests that "They should auction off the whiskey and use the proceeds for childrens' programs or the like."
grayhawkfh is quoted as saying "That is the second best idea I can think of to do with that. (The first would be to give me the 5 oldest bottles, but I digress)"
