Maybe the construction workers who built it in the 1940s were sampling the product.

Tradition can be carried TOO far, you know.
The building was aging right along with the bourbon, and perhaps should have been replaced long ago with a more secure and better engineered storage facility.
Which it shall be anyway.
Another example of misplaced thrift.

9,000 barrels of aging bourbon crash to ground after collapse at Barton 1792
The building houses about 20,000 barrels of aging bourbon. Each barrel holds 53 gallons of bourbon and weighs about 550 pounds.
