Kentucky got a lot of rain last Tuesday. I remember seeing pictures of Churchill Downs on the news. Well, bourbon distilleries were hit hard too, including Heaven Hill’s Bernheim Distillery.

I received this note from Larry Kass at Heaven Hill yesterday afternoon:

John, I thought you would get a kick out of these shots of Bernheim from the unbelievable flood of last Tuesday.  Despite 7 inches of rain in 90 minutes, despite no power from 9 am until 3 pm, despite flooded grain trenches, they worked all night after power was restored and the next day and we didn’t miss any production goals!  The video was taken from the steps of the office building across 17th street from the distillery.

 
Watch the video here. Bourbon and water, anyone?
