Nearly half a million dollars worth of bourbon has been stolen in a broad daylight heist, in one of the largest thefts of its kind this year.

Approximately 10,800 cases of Noble Oak bourbon were picked up by a truck driver to transport them from a North Philadelphia warehouse to New Jersey Friday, but the shipment never made it to its final destination.

Rob Koch, chief operating officer of Noble Oak's parent company A-21 Wine and Spirits, said: "It seems like an organised group of criminals deceived one of our warehouse locations by getting them to load up about 11,000 bottles of bourbon into their vehicles…and made off with a whole ton of bourbon.

Would be a good way to collect in slumping sales if it is insured

I had never heard of it so I looked. It's MGP sourced then staves added for aging. Not sure that's going to bring a whole lot on secondary, but again, had never heard of it. It's fairly cheap to begin with.

I'm already looking forward to the Netflix documentary coming out about this in 2028

Straight out of the Sopranos.

Isn't Philly home of the Irish Mob? Or is that Boston?

We did a blind bourbon tasting and Noble Oak was the winner. And it runs about $33-35. Calandros, Calvin’s and several others in BR carry it.
