We previously covered the release of the limited edition 4547 Whiskey by Wise Spirits, inspired by and celebrating the second inauguration of Donald Trump, but in a wild turn of events, the first shipment was stolen.

As the first limited edition of 4547 Whiskey sat on the docks of California, valued at over $250,000, it was stolen by clever thieves. By falsifying documents, the entire collection of whiskey was stolen. The thieves thought they had got away scot-free, but the police were on the case.
The team at Wise Spirits isn't the type to let people get away with theft of heaven's own golden liquid. They, alongside Temple City Sheriff's Department, and the Rialto Police Department, tracked down the shipment. Through their clever detective work, they recovered most of the 4547 Whiskey bottles.
The thin blue line on the back of each 4547 whiskey bottle is a show of support to US police.
Stolen 4547 Whiskey Bottles Become A Collectors Edition
As if a bottle celebrating the second inauguration of Trump wasn't special enough, now each stolen bottle is marked and considered even more limited. The team at Wise Spirits has identified each of them. A small QR code along with the 'Hijacked' logo marks the special bottles.
The codes on the recovered 4547 Whiskey bottles lead drinkers to the story of recovery. They believe that it further signifies what can be achieved by patriots faced with the prospect of lost liquor. The US has a history of defying all odds when withheld from their booze. Just ask Al Capone and Roy Olmstead.
"We are thrilled to have recovered our shipment and are excited to share this unique tale with our customers," said Heath Lollar, VP of Operations at Wise Spirits Inc. "Every bottle tells a story of resilience and the American spirit. This whiskey is not just a drink; it's a symbol of what we can accomplish together."
The limited edition 4547 Whiskey Patriot Edition can be ordered from their site. Even if you're not a drinker, this bottle marks an important point in US politics. And, if you're lucky, you may end up with one of the valuable 'Hijacked' bottles too.
