Don't worry, they're safe!!

Well, for Michter's being a forgotten historical site, people certainly do notice changes to the place quickly! The owner of Michter's and I spent New Year's Day (assisted by my wife and her sister) removing all remaining signs, paperwork, and other paraphernalia from Michter's once and for all. There has been a rash of recent break-ins and thefts at the distillery- probably due to the negative press from the recent warehouse collapse. So before any more items are stolen, the owner and I removed everything from the site. Everything we removed from the distillery is now under constant supervision, locked away out of the weather awaiting restoration and cleaning. So don't worry, some goober doesn't have them in their basement or attic.

  1. I didn't realize the place was under constant siege from vandals. No wonder Dwight threatened to call the police on us.

  2. There has been significant vandalism at the site and we were alerted to a plan by a few locals to steal the remaining signs. We removed them all and Dwight has them stored off-site under surveillance. The police have also stepped up their patrols and the locals keep a close eye on who's around.

  3. Speaking of whiskey, what and when will we see on the state store shelves in the coming weeks? I've been watching your blog in anticipation!

  4. Thought I emailed you a partial list last week? I'm still waiting on the complete list of new items. Everything should be hitting shelves in six weeks or so.

  5. I don't think I got it. My spam filter may have for some reason weeded it out or something. I know you had told me a few weeks ago there was a good possibility of a few making their way here, but I don't remember anything past that. I can't wait to see what all shows up! Over the holiday season I emptied a few bottles so I'm waiting to stock up!
