BArton worked quickly to stop the liquor from entering the creek, but didn’t NOTIFY the STATE quickly enough, so they will be fined for that.....
Let’s see-—which should I do first?
Stop the flow into the river or creek .......
OR spend wasted time on the phone trying to explain what happened to some bureaucrat???

” why they didnt try to empty out the rest of the warehouse”
Would you have been willing to go inside a half collapsed multi story post and beam building and start moving things around for $15 an hour?
Likely OHSA wouldn’t let anyone within 100 feet of the site.

Probably too dangerous.
This is from the first collapse.
The second

My guess is Evan Williams 1792 bourbon. It is a decent bourbon.

so, wonder why they didnt try to empty out the rest of the warehouse as a precaution, but instead just decided to risk their remaining stock? Access.
You have to be able to get to the barrels to remove them.
The first thing that would happen after a partial collapse of a building is a county engineer/building inspector would post the building as danger do not enter. There would be no way to know if or when the rest of the building might fall on its own.
Until an architect engineer inspected the building and deemed it safe to enter no one would be permitted to work in the building.
If you look at the pictures of the first collapse there was no way to get to one side of the building due to the pile of barrels and collapsed building.

Looks like a lot of those whiskey barrels are still intact. Made of stout hardwood, I’m sure. Let us hope.

It has to be made in new charred oak cask.
The strength of oak barrels in legendary.

Place was multi-story and looked like it was built with nothing but 2x4's. I've seen slum buildings in India that looked better constructed. Visited the Glen Livet distillery in Scotland years ago and all their barrels (re-used American Bourbon barrels, by the way) were in a long one story warehouse. No chance of anything like this happening (fire, on the other hand?). You can take the boys out of the Hills, but you can't take the Hillbilly out of the boys.

Apparently some of those old timbers gave out from age. Just a guess.

Can any of that be recovered for later use?

The whiskey in the barrels that didn’t rupture should still
be good to complete the aging process. Just a guess.

I sense a Lynyrd Skynrd paraphrase. As opposed to registering a complaint about odor.

If the whiskey spilled into a waterway, they would just have bourbon and branch water. With that many barrels, it could cause cirrhosis of the river
