News outlets report the partial collapse of the O.Z. Tyler Distillery rickhouse was reported early Monday.

I believe that happened last year.

This was the one *I* was thinking abotu:

"Another Kentucky bourbon barrel warehouse collapsed last year. Half of a warehouse collapsed at the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown on June 22, 2018, and the other half came down two weeks later."

I think ole W.C. was a gin drinker.

I on the other hand am wondering why the federal gobernment and FEMA doesn't do something about these warehouse catastrophes.
