Cleanup at Barton 1792 is Underway after Warehouse Collapse

A month after the collapse of Warehouse 30, cleanup at Barton 1792 Distillery is underway in Bardstown, KY.

The initial collapse on June 22nd caused 9,000 bourbon barrels to tumble to the ground, with broken barrels spilling into a nearby river.
