Nahale-a: It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion on this motion? There was no discussion from the Commissioners. Nahale-a: Seeing none, all those in favor say, "Aye." The Commissioners voted "Aye." Nahale-a: Any opposed? There was no opposition by the Commissioners. Nahale-a: Motion carries. The motion was carried unanimously. Masuda: Madam Chair, since I ask him each time he's here, I have to ask him the question. Nahale-a: Yes, please ask him the question. Masuda: What is your most expensive bottle now that you're doing spirits as well as wine? Dreimann: Well, it's actually, I had'a request to supply a Royal Salute bottle of scotch, which I couldn't supply. But, I referred them to a local licensed wholesaler who then delivered it to one of the retailers here, and then they picked it up from the retailer. That was the $30,000 bottle of scotch. There's only forty of them made in the world and recently somebody asked for 1800 Coleccion Tequila, and there's again, only forty of them in the world and this was actually from Bob Parsons. He's famous for CoDaddy (internet domain), and he wanted twelve bottles. Since there's only forty distributed in the entire world, finding you twelve bottles is going to be seriously difficult. That order was about $36,000. Nahale-a: You were able to find twelve? MAY 2, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 29
