More than 10,000 bottles of alcohol -- gone.
The liquor in question, Chicken Cock Whiskey, is an unforgettable name with ties to the Prohibition era. The alcohol was back in market for the past four months, after a near century long hiatus, when a batch of 884 cases that was headed to Texas, was stolen.
"We are hopeful that it can be recovered. It is a lot of product to get rid of quietly."
And as the liquor runs dry, Anttila can't help but sense the irony in the Prohibition alcohol facing crime in the 21st century. "To try and make lemonade out of lemons, it is quite ironic that a brand that was famous for being a bootleg bourbon during Prohibition gets hijacked when it comes back to the market in 2013. I wouldn't have believed it unless it happened."
