When Prohibition began, Jack Daniels was required to send their entire inventory to a bonded warehouse in St. Louis.
Several years later, Federal Inspectors decided they wanted to take advantage of their position to imbibe the good stuff and tapped one of the barrels ...... and found it was full of water. Continued investigation revealed that all of the whisky in all of the barrels had been replaced with water. Lets just say that they were mighty angry.
[ from “Blood and Whisky: the Life and Times of Jack Daniels”].
Jack Daniel story exemplary ! Let’s hope the Mounties figure this riddle out.
