Mudslide sends Buffalo Trace Distillery office, cargo container into Kentucky river

FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — A world-renowned Kentucky Bourbon distillery is picking up the pieces after a mudslide.

A Buffalo Trace Distillery representative told FOX 56 it happened in the early morning hours on Monday on the northeast side of the property.

In a statement, officials are still assessing the situation, but a temporary office and Conex cargo container fell into the river.

“No team members were near the area at the time of the mudslide and the affected property has been properly roped off to ensure the safety of those at the distillery. Buffalo Trace Distillery will work closely with professionals to ensure proper cleanup,” Cory McCauley, Buffalo Trace Distillery Associate PR Manager, said.

The mudslide is believed to be severe weather-related.
