45K barrels of bourbon reportedly destroyed in Jim Beam warehouse fire
Posted 7:23 am, July 3, 2019, by fox8webcentral

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Two barrel warehouses at a Jim Beam aging facility burned for hours overnight in Kentucky.

WKYT reports the facility caught fire at around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. One warehouse caught fire, which then spread to a second warehouse.

Roughly 45,000 barrels of bourbon were in one of the burning warehouses.

Officials said it’s possible the fire was caused by a lightning strike.

I'm a scotch drinker and can't stand bourbon, but even at that, this is a tragedy!!  Lots of good liquor going to waste.

The very first thing I ever got drunk on was bourbon. I was very young and it made me very, very sick. I have never laid in a tilt-a whirl bed before, lol. Never had it since and can't stand the smell to this day.

But I guess this is sad for bourbon drinkers.

The smell of bourbon makes me nauseated, but I'm sorry for Jim Beam's loss.  :laugh:

Try the Aberlour 12 year, if you feel like giving yourself a gift. It’ll cost about $60, not too pricey, but not cheap. It’s aged in a repurposed sherry cask. Gives it an interesting profile.

Scotch must be aged in oak barrels, many of which are sourced (already used for bourbon) from KY.

We are so screwed.
