A moment of silence
Now this is a real shame....
During a warehouse raid in Nashville, and Lynchburg Tennessee, officials grabbed up 2,400 bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey. The whiskey, some of which is almost 100 years old, is to be just poured down a drain, since it was sold without license.
Investigators are determining whether the hooch was stolen from the distillery. Tenn. law states officials must destroy whiskey that can't be sold in state. One bottle seized had an unbroken seal and dated to 1914.
Another raid, that was in a Nashville hotel, room netted bottles being sold and drinks being served. The booze is estimated at $1 million value (LINK)
At Spark it Up, we pause for a moment of silence. This shows the stupidity of the authorities in Tennessee. Return the whiskey to its owners or how about auctioning it off. I am sure 100 year old bottles of Jack would bring a primo price. My God who is in charge of this? My Mom? Geeesh.

post a commentI saw this too. Stupid really. The government should go ahead and slap a tax label on this stuff and then auction it off. Everyone would be happy: the government gets its money and we get the booze.
