What happens when it goes bad for the big boys

This is from over 2 decades ago but still revelevant.

Not the first time it has happened either. Something to consider when your storing your gear above 40%.

That would be heart breaking.

I hope it didn't start due to safety reasons, maybe an arsonist?

I don't know who to feel sorry for, the distillery or the insurance company who have to pay up! That's some serious amount of booze!

Bundy Rum distillery burned down in 1936. They lost 63 vats each containing 10 000 gallons. Now thats a shitload of rum
