STORYLINE:
The historic Buffalo Trace Distillery has temporarily closed after deadly flooding ravaging Kentucky swept into its facilities, forcing the popular bourbon company to turn away the public and staff.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Frankfort-based distillery said it would remain closed through April 10 but warned that date could change.
Buffalo Trace is far from the only distillery in Kentucky, but it is one of the closest to the banks of the Kentucky River. The distillery is an American, family-owned company that has operated for more than 200 years.
As of Monday, several Buffalo Trace buildings were flooded at lower levels and parking lots and cars were underwater.
The water tower bearing the brand’s logo stood over the visitor center and warehouses that appeared to be inundated with water.
Residents stopped to take pictures of the well-known bourbon maker’s property as it was flooded out. Traffic signs directing trucks and visitors to parking peeked over several feet of rushing water.
