Do you smell Bourbon?

45,000 barrels of Jim Beam bourbon were destroyed after lighting struck a Jim Beam warehouse and fire officials let the blaze run its course to avoid ethanol contamination in a nearby creek that runs into the Kentucky River. The building is one of 126 barrel warehouses that Jim Beam operates in Kentucky. Altogether, these warehouses hold 3.3 million wooden barrels of bourbon for the Jim Beam brand. A standard barrel typically produces 150 to 200 750-milliliter bottles. This means the fire caused between $122 million to $162 million in lost revenue.

Bartender: “I’m sorry, we don’t serve food here.”

I was going to start a bourbon company, but I heard it’s a whiskey business…
