Old Log Cabin Bourbon Whiskey
In 1927, during the height of Prohibition, Midwest gangster Al Capone decided that so much liquor was flowing into the United States across the Canada–US border through Detroit that he decide he wanted in on the action. After some negotiations, he formed a partnership with the Purple Gang of Detroit. They took Canadian Club Whiskey, labeled it "Old Log Cabin" Whiskey. One of the people that Capone sold Old Log Cabin to was fellow Chicago bootlegger, Bugs Moran. Bugs Moran decided that he wasn't making enough money off his liquor sales and decided to re-buy Old Log Cabin from hijackers at half the price. Moran's crew started hijacking the Purple Gang supply trucks heading into Detroit.
