In the heart of Manhattan’s Worth Street, a dingy building on the fourth floor harbors a secret. Inside, the city’s central testing laboratory is bursting at the seams with a staggering collection of seized liquors. For a week now, a mountain of containers, each with a unique label and numbering system, has been accumulating at a rate of 150 samples per day. This is the aftermath of a relentless crackdown by the authorities, who are determined to put the city’s infamous bootleggers behind bars.
