They say as bourbon ages in barrels, the evaporated spirits are the “angel’s share.”
Looks like the devil just claimed his. 😈
A warehouse fire in Kentucky destroyed about 45,000 barrels of Jim Beam overnight. Given that one barrel nets you anywhere from 150-200 bottles of the 750mL size, some quick math says at most 9,000,000 bottles were cruelly wasted. But given that the Chicago Tribune is reporting that the loss only accounts for 1% of Jim Beam’s bourbon inventory….we won’t be going dry anytime soon. — [eric]
