The Jim Beam warehouse in Bardstown, Kentucky is on fire. Police are asking people to stay away from the scene to make way for emergency crews. There have been no injuries reported or evacuations. Sky 11 is on the scene.

Thank God it wasn't a warehouse with Single Malt Scotch in it (such as Oben or Laphroaig)! None the less, what a terrible waste!

I saw a news article about the fire, and it said the 1 million gallons of Jim Beam went up in flames. Bill Berckman

Take it that it should read Oban? ;0) Not to mention Lagavullin....

That was pretty insensative. That million gallons would have kept you supplied for at least a year or two. :o) Bill Berckman

If it was just Beam, that sucks. If it included their Small Batch Bourbons (like the highly flammable Booker's) then it REALLY sucks!
