    570 - The 'Pappygate' Bourbon Heist
    Sep 23 2026

    Pappy Van Winkle is some of the most expensive Bourbon in the world, and in 2013 hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of the liquor went missing from the distillery. This week, Deanna Ortiz tells us how some heists aren't elaborately planned, but just get slowly out of hand.


    This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 11:55 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
