A major whiskey heist is under investigation in Skagit County.

Westland Distillery told The Seattle Times that 12,000 bottles disappeared from a warehouse in Burlington over the summer.

That includes bottles of its prized Garryana 10th Anniversary release.

The missing bottles are valued at more than $900,000.

An attorney for the distillery told The Seattle Times it appears the suspected thief used fake paperwork to pick up the shipment.

No arrests have been made.
