Fate of $40,000 bottle of whisky hard to swallow

IT WAS an act of drunken spite against his former stepfather that led Daniel Alex D'Souza to break open a bottle of rare Scotch whisky purported to have dated back to the time of the First Fleet.

By his own account to police in a recorded interview, the 19-year-old from Cootamundra, in southern NSW, said he did not stop to savour the drop, but "poured it into the ground".

Police allege the whisky would have been worth $40,000 if sold at auction to a collector.

Its owner, Dr Frank Perera, said he believes his former stepson drank it with his mates.

The tale of the whisky's destruction emerged in the Downing Centre Local Court yesterday when the unemployed D'Souza appeared before Magistrate Elizabeth Corbett charged with three counts of break, enter and steal from the Cootamundra home of Dr Perera. The alleged escapade - which included the theft and drinking of 15 other prized bottles of collectors' wines and spirits - took place on Sunday, May 20, when Dr Perera was attending patients at the local hospital.

Police allege D'Souza broke into the house three times that day.

"Some of the property stolen included various 24-carat jewellery, an antique bottle of First Fleet whisky, value approximately $40,000, $5000 in cash, $12,000 in travellers cheques and [liquor]," police said in a statement of facts.

They alleged D'Souza was arrested the next day after jumping a fence in an attempt to flee officers. When asked why he was running he allegedly told police: "Because I stole some stuff."

He allegedly told police he committed the robberies "as revenge for ongoing issues between him and the victim", and he led police to where he had hidden bags containing property. During a record of interview, D'Souza allegedly told police that between the three raids on the home that Sunday he had drunk some of the alcohol and felt bitter towards his former stepfather..

"The accused states that he also broke open the expensive antique whisky bottle, emptying the contents onto the ground," police said.

D'Souza, who lives in the inner Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, was accompanied to court by his mother.

He entered no plea and was granted continuing bail to reappear before Downing Centre Local Court on August 28, when it will be determined if the charges will be heard in the Cootamundra Local Court.

After the hearing, Dr Perera told the Herald the whisky had been given to him 10 years ago by a descendant of a crewman on the First Fleet.

I'm going to kill that kid~~~~

i was once gifted a generous glass of whiskey from the prohibition era Sherman House Hotel in Chicago.

that was a fine glass of whiskey to sip at $25 bucks a shot.

My random brain flashes of slogans don't actually tell me how to spell them.

Something like that I guess Crypto.

Anyway, the martini's are behind me now, and I am into whatever booze I can randomly pull from behind the bar.

Go get 'em PM. (No, it is not appropriate for the jerk to play with the group he/she is supposed to be conducting).

I had a similar problem with one of my boys - gratefully we got through it successfully but we had to shake up much of the music department in the process. Tell burner baby we encourage her to stick with it - it became a springboard for my son's blossoming career in the lively arts. He will be on the playa for the first time this year (first time he hasn't had a show running concurrently in years).

Give 'em hell!

I can think of a couple limited examples of when it's ok for the conductor to play along:

As an accompanist to a choir.

As a percussionist for some groups (my youngest played in a grade school marimba band, and the conductor used a shaker to keep time on a couple songs).

But in the way you describe PM, no. That guy sounds like an asshat.
