In my mind, this was born of and ultimately the fruit of me being incredibly vigilant over the last eight years.Īckerman, himself a filmmaker by trade, is also a dusty hunter: an antique collector who only searches for still-sealed bottles of vintage alcohol, usually American whiskey. Im thinking, Holy crap! I want this, and I need to get this, Ackerman said. DeMille, the legendary director and producer. Ackerman had found the booze collection of Cecil B. Another wall acted as a liquor cabinet, with more bottles of bourbon, Irish whiskey and rum, untouched for more than a half century. One entire wall had built-in wine turrets, with dusty bottles of wine and champagne lying on their side. There, a modern lock code opened the swinging cellar doors, and the two descended a flight of concrete steps to the bunker. There he met his contact, Caroline Debbané, who took him not through the front door but around to the back of the property. Eventually he reached his destination, a Santa Fe-style home built in the early 1900s.
He guided his metallic black BMW off the 210 and up the winding road to the top of Little Tujunga Canyon on the right side, Middle Ranch, an equestrian facility and popular wedding venue, on the left, multimillion-dollar estates, everything surrounded by the mountains of the Angeles National Forest. Kevin Langdon Ackerman had a good lead, so he left his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Beachwood Canyon on a Tuesday morning in August and drove 18 miles northwest to Sylmar, California.
