Oregon ethics commission orders review of OLCC officials who diverted Pappy Van Winkle, other bourbon

The Oregon Government Ethics Commission voted this month to move forward with an initial review of the conduct of six top Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission officials who set aside bottles of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon for themselves.

The review will be completed within 60 days, at which point the commission will determine whether to move forward with a full investigation, according to Ron Bersin, the executive director.
