Authorities may destroy cases of nearly 100-year-old whiskey
Story Highlights
Authorities suspect whiskey was being sold by someone without a license
2,400 bottles seized in raid last month; some may have been stolen from distillery
Tennessee law requires destruction of whiskey that can't be sold legally in the state
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Here is 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.
This 3-liter bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey, along with those in boxes along the wall, may be destroyed.
Officials seized 2,400 bottles late last month during warehouse raids in Nashville and Lynchburg, the southern Tennessee town where the whiskey is distilled. Investigators are also looking into whether some of the bottles had been stolen from the distillery.
No one has been arrested.
Authorities are still determining how much of the liquor will be disposed of, and how much can be sold at auction.
Tennessee law requires officials to destroy whiskey that cannot be sold legally in the state, such as bottles designed for sale overseas and those with broken seals
