I just RECENTLY seen this stuff at the local liquor store. I know it has always been around but this stuff is basically bottom shelf whiskey. Add in the fact that Nicky liked to add water to it. I don't get it. I totally understand that he did adhere to the old school rules of no flashiness but always thought that if you did drink, you would want the best......I know Nick was not a big drinker. His drug of choice was $$$$....Maybe he paid his Underboss too little and would explain why he chose alcohol but that is another debate for another day.
My ONLY guess is he saw an old school legend doing the same and he copied them. Maybe one of his Meyer Lansky trips.


Look at Gotti and his wine story.

Thoughts?
