9,000 barrels of bourbon fall in Kentucky distillery building collapse

Given the clean, sheer break from the (m)other structure, it suggests that the storage decking in the addition failed. The other giveaway is/are the horizontal lines on the exterior of the (m)other structure, suggesting that when originally built, 2"x 4" lumber was used to "kick-out" the exterior sheathing.

I'd be interested to learn what, if anything, was used to tie the new structure into the original one. Whatever they used was poor/non-existant. The surviving barrels are now thankfull.

Did any of the barrels break open?

Seriously, how much "contamination" can bourbon do to a water supply?

Not nearly enough. I’m now thoroughly bloated and without a buzz.

Drinking their barrel proof (called full proof) now. It’s nice but isn’t as smooth as I’d expected. Trying it next to the burning chair. Smoother = burning chair.

But I’m supporting these guys. It’s the right thing to do. Community!
