Must have been some bottom shelf bourbon, because I have never heard of them?

When you look at the structure of the building I mean really this shouldn’t be a shock.   

Thought, hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. Essentially it’s a giant water tower made out of sticks.  From the looks they have that building full top to bottom and that is a massive amount of weight for what that structure looks like.   

Barrels should still be good most of them. Just need to sort the mess out

Interesting fact, Stranahans here in Denver pumps moisture into their warehouse where the barrels are stored to keep humidity at 40% constant. Being this is high desert 40% is as high as they can get the concrete block building up to. The reason they do this is to keep evaporation to a minimum.

The other interesting fact is that the evaporation of the bourbon has been called “angel shares” ever since grain whiskey was produced. I think it started in Scotland actually & correct me if I’m wrong but I believe they age their scotch a minimum of 3 years versus bourbon which is 2 years. So back in the early 1800’s apparently the Scottish didn’t understand evaporation. So since their whiskey was stored under lock & key to be aged the only explanation for the loss was that the angels must have come down & stole a bit. Thus the term angel shares.   :likebutton:
