The cause of the collapse is still under investigation.
9,000 barrels of bourbon crash to ground after collapse at Kentucky distillery

Maybe the cause was 'being housed in a decrepit old sheetmetal building'?

To keep our old time traditions, we have no concern about storing 1800 tons of very expensive bourbon in a very old, timber rotting, termite eaten, not to code, building.
