Versailles, Kentucky—A massive fire destroyed a Jim Beam warehouse in northern Kentucky on Wednesday, but officials said no one was injured. Firefighters were working to extinguish the blaze at a warehouse in Versailles, which is filled with about 45,000 barrels of bourbon.
Two barrel warehouses caught fire late Tuesday night. One warehouse initially caught fire with flames spreading to the second structure, Drew Chandler of Woodford County Emergency Management told CBS affiliate WLKY-TV.
Crews were able to put one out, but the other kept burning for hours. Chandler said it may have been caused by lightning.

Hillary can’t standup on her own. If lighting struck it would hit a body guard trying to help her up. Either way though it is awful.
I agree with ya on that.
This is the second big bourbon fire lately that burned thousands of barrels.
The loss a few months ago with the collapsed storage buildings, and now this!!
Revelation: “And there will be signs in heaven and on earth that the end is near...”
Then He certainly wouldn’t have burned up Jim Beam. :P
A loss of a lot of good sippin’ likker
The other disaster was a building collapse at Barton destroying a whole warehouse.
Oh the Humanity!
Spend two weeks in Saudi with NOTHING, and Then Beam will taste pretty good! I once paid $22 for shot, and was glad to have it.
Agreed!
There’s a lot of great Irish Whiskeys on the market these days. Jim Beam is just blech!
Jim Beam Black is triple distilled and extra aged, IIRC, which puts it into an entirely different category. Almost all of the methanol is removed in the triple distill process. The price point is much higher too.
This is a national tragedy
President Trump should order flags to fly at half staff for 20 days in memory of the lost bourbon
