A Real American Tragedy

Time to start hording Jack Daniels!

A Jim Beam warehouse filled with 45,000 barrels of bourbon still burning

A fire at a Jim Beam warehouse in Versailles, Kentucky, was in its third day of burning on Thursday, as Kentucky officials began assessing the environmental impact the leaking bourbon was having on nearby waterways.

its a small tragedy if it was all Jim Beam. Its an unbelievable tragedy and we all need to have a day of mourning it it was the Knob Creek or Basil Hayden's batches.

I think CNN also reported that Trump ordered the rivers to flow with American made bourbon on 4th of July and will cost an additional 2.5 million dollars!

You guys got me panicked. I had to make sure my supply is good. first I had to check specifically the bourbon supply at the house (pic 1). I am good for now. then had to check all the back up liqueurs for those non-sophisticated, uneducated drinkers ( typically non hunters) ( pic 2,3).

But then holy crap what about the hunting cabin. ( pic 4) its ok for now also.

Oh Jim Beam , what happened? After a few drinks , I ended up across the street with the redneck boys , listening to old country and watching them blow up stuff , never made it to the town fireworks show , some how we ended up in the mountains, driving in mud holes , up hills and seeing how hot they could get there tires on a logging landing, and home well after 3 , glad I have 3 more days to recover, been a few decades since I’ve done that , wish my head would quit pounding! Ha ha ha ha , I blame this thread for the inspiration to get a bottle, or my girlfriend for camping in Idaho with my parents and giving me a HALL PASS . Anyone’s fault but mine

We had 7.5 million barrels of bourbon resting peacefully in Kentucky. Today, we have 7.5 million barrels of bourbon resting peacefully in Kentucky, 45,000 barrels is a rounding error. (https://kybourbon.com/bourbon_culture-2/key_bourbon_facts/ )

Edit: we only have 4.5 million people, so drink up.

However, the fish kill in the Kentucky River (reaching the Ohio today) is significant.
