Environmental officials were also reportedly headed to Bardstown to determine whether the whiskey had contaminated a tributary located 250 feet downhill from the storage facility. Firefighters were unable to tell whether the water contained any of the alcohol, the Standard reported.

If anything it’ll drive the price up, not like bourbon isn’t already crazy popular and hard to find. It’s already being joked about that there will be a rickhouse collapse special edition

I would assume that the tariffs on bourbon would be bad for the distillers, but good for the US, as they are forced to sell more product in the domestic market. More supply here should mean lower prices here, unless they can sell it somewhere else overseas.

I'd reckon there are a good number of barrels that are intact. However, retrieving all the intact barrels is likely going to be a very labor intensive task, as those 53 gallon barrels are going to be heavy.
