Barton distillery warehouse collapses
Associated Press reports that thousands of bourbon barrels were piled in a massive heap Friday after a large section of a whiskey storage warehouse collapsed at Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown.
About 9,000 barrel filled with aging bourbon were affected. No one was injured.
Barton bourbon is owned by Sazerac, a New Orleans-based spirits company.
The distillery is near a waterway, and officials were checking on whether any whiskey had spilled into it. The structure has a 12-foot (3.6-meter) basement that would help contain spills, said Joe Prewitt, the local emergency management director.
