Fire Engulfs Jim Beam Warehouse

[Best_man23]

The picture is enough to make me want to cry.

The wood-frame Jim Beam warehouse collapsed about two hours after the fire was reported at 3 p.m. and continued burning. The company said the warehouse held about 19,000 barrels of bourbon.

8. A Storehouse at the Wild Turkey Distillery

Went up in flames a couple of years ago. That time, I actually did cry, as I do prefer the Wild 101 over almost all other bourbons.

9. My advice

Drink Maker's Mark instead. You'll never go back.

It is my favorite drink to order at one of my local haunts.

14. maybe an employee who had to go to the bathroom started it

There was a thread on GD last week about how this company will only allow its employees to go to the bathroom at specific times.

Menstruating? Too bad. Kidney problems? Your problem. One solution was for the workers to wear Depends.
