An investigation into Oregon’s spirit distribution points to potential inconsistencies in the sale of top-shelf liquor.
Several Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission (OLCC) officials have allegedly reserved popular bourbon bottles for themselves for years, according to public records obtained by the media platform The Oregonian. The spirits in question include Pappy Van Winkle (ranging in age from 10–23 years old), Elmer T. Lee, and other in-demand bottles.
