All Of Barton 1792’s Half-Collapsed Warehouse Falls Down

Warehouse 30 at Barton 1792 Distillery has completely collapsed, no injuries are reported and no one was inside. This comes a little overa week after the first half of the same warehouse collapsed unexpectedly.

As a result of the first collapse on June 22, the Barton 1792 Distillery team was prepared and had equipment on site to address any further problems from the debris from the initial collapse or from the structure that remained standing. It is believed none of the approximately 9,000 barrels remaining in the warehouse after the first collapse were removed, presumably because it was unsafe for workers to remove them, although Sazerac has not commented on this. As before, the Distillery team worked quickly to contain the spill from the barrels. As a result of the Barton 1792 Distillery team’s preparation and quick action, no runoff from today’s collapse entered any waterways.
