Alcohol you later
A state lab says liquor samples obtained from a bar on Sansom Street were not the Maker's Mark and Ketel One they were supposed to be.
Philadelphia Magazine's Victor Fiorillo thought he was served cheap swill at a Center City watering hole instead of the Maker's Mark that he ordered.
He sent the state police's Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement into Oscar's on Sansom Street. An agent confiscated six bottles.
Fiorillo reports that the lab has come back with the results:
"Results of the analysis of item 1.1 (Maker's Mark Whiskey) do not agree with the results of the analysis of the authentic sample (item 2.1) of Maker's Mark Whiskey. Item 1.1 was determined to be contaminated."
And the Ketel One was not Ketel One.
Fiorillo says the LCE's legal department is mulling a citation.
