The ethanol-fueled fungus, fed by vapors from barrels of aging Jack Daniel’s whiskey, has made the distillery rezone a property to build additional barrelhouses — upsetting wary residents. Whiskey fungus fed by Jack Daniel's encrusts a Tennessee town:
A Brown-Forman whiskey aging warehouse coated in Baudoinia, a type of fungus that germinates off of ethanol, in Louisville, Ky., July 23, 2012.
A company representative, Donna Willis, told county officials in November that 14 barrelhouses would generate $1 million in annual property tax revenue for the county, which had approved about $15 million in general fund spending for the 2022 fiscal year.Christi Long, who owns a local mansion built in 1900 that she operates as a venue for weddings and other events, sued the county in January, contending that barrelhouses near her property lacked the proper permits.
“If you take your fingernail and run your fingernail down our tree branch, it will just coat the tip of your finger,” Patrick Long said. “It’s just disgusting.” At a county commission meeting in November, Willis, director of technical services, maintenance and barrel distribution at Jack Daniel’s, said studies have shown that the fungus is not hazardous to human health and does not damage property.
