I hope this fire was truly accidental. Deliberately setting it would be serious alcohol abuse.

What a waste.

You beat me to it. I was going to exactly the same gif. :)

Just passing through for all the “Oh, the humanity” comments.

I’m suspicious of Old Grand-Dad.

Was the cause “white lightning?”

Where was Makers Mark, Jack Daniels, Pappy Van Winkle at the time???

Losing a rickhouse is bad, losing one of those would be a major tragedy. Of course, those numbers of barrels are well beyond the total barrels of Pappy ever.

45,000 barrels.....

That will put a small crimp in our family reunion, but, somehow, we’ll muddle through.

Good I hope it was Mila’s private stash! I am boycotting.

[subterfuge]

Nooooooooooooo!

[HangnJudge]

At about $10,000 per barrel...

I hope they have good insurance

I will have some of my Blanton's later this evening in solemn remembrance.

Ah heck, I'm retired. I'll wait till noon! =;-)

I guess the Good Lord is a Jack’s fan.

Some people I used to know are shedding a tear from the grave.

Wait a second is this a second warehouse ? Didn’t this happen not too long ago ?
