ruin houses and gardens – Corriere.it

Stop the construction of the Jack Daniel’s warehouse in Tennessee. This was established by the US State Court due to the black mold that is spreading in the area between the counties of Moore (where the distillery was founded in 1866) and that of Lincoln. The invasion appears to be brought about by a mushroom fed precisely by the alcoholic vapors of the famous whiskey. The provision follows a complaint filed by residents, first of all Christi Long, owner of a room used as a location for events located near the six Jack Daniel’s department stores and the seventh under construction.

The protest

The fungus has a tendency to stick to different types of surfaces and, therefore, cover houses, gardens, cars and makes it difficult and more expensive to run Long’s business. He told the American media that to clean his property every three months he must use bleach diluted with water sprinkled with a high-pressure hose. The woman protested that the new cellar under construction does not have the necessary permits and about 35,000 inhabitants then joined his denunciation. A judge in the Tennessee court agreed with them and only temporarily blocked the work. The residents disagree, deeming the provision insufficient and asking that Jack Daniel’s install air filters in the barrels containing the distillate.

Million dollar turnover

This would be a problem for the company, since the new cellar would have a capacity of 14 barrels and could generate public tax revenues of around one million dollars. Melvin Keebler, the general manager of the distilleries, said the company complies with all local, state and federal regulations relating to the design, construction and authorization of our barriques. We are committed to protecting the environment and the safety and health of our employees and neighbors. In addition, he added that studies have shown that the mushroom is not dangerous to human health and does not damage properties. D bother? Yes sure. But you can easily fix it by washing it off.
