Description

Traditional copper whiskey thief used to draw samples directly from aging bourbon barrels. This long-handled sampling tool features a solid copper tube with a forged hanging hook and tapered sampling end designed for extracting whiskey from barrel bungs. A classic piece of Kentucky bourbon heritage, it is equally suitable for display in a bourbon collection, distillery décor, or as a functional sampling tool.

The copper exhibits a warm, attractive patina from age and use, with expected surface scratches, marks, and oxidation consistent with normal use. The forged hook remains securely attached, and the tapered sampling tip is intact. Please review all photographs carefully for overall condition and measurements.

A unique piece of bourbon history that would make an excellent addition to any bourbon enthusiast's collection, home bar, distillery display, or Kentucky memorabilia collection.
