[gR3yWolf]

So, so, sad. I'm going down to help with cleanup. Anyone care to join me?
Thousands of bourbon barrels come crashing down in distillery collapse

A true disaster...I would even go as far as to call it alcohol abuse!

 

[phar2slo]

That's terrible news!

I think someone got their 'Angel's share' calculations wrong
Or never did a calculation at all of how much each barrel weighs x number of stories and load ratings of the 80 year old wooden beams holding it all in the air.

Gravity wins again.

Most of it is now "Devils cut".....bloody shame that is!...But still (see what i did there?)...there will be alot of barrels intact...careful handling will be the order of the day i'm guessing.

Sue them for ground water contamination too.

 

[Boog]

But how much actually leaked out?

Waste of virgins pish so it is.

Well I hope it's not cleaned up by August. I am riding down to Bardstown and spending the night before going over to Loreto to pick up my 5 fifths of Makers Mark. I became a Makers Mark Ambassador 6 years ago and got the notification that MY Barrell was ready.
