Here in the beautiful state of Kentucky, we love our Bourbon just not our mold. The idyllic landscape of the Bluegrass state, dotted with horse farms, distilleries…and mold.
You might not hear this on your next distillery tour, but the black growth on buildings, trees, and structures around distilleries commonly referred to as “Distiller’s Mold” is actually a fungus…Baudoinia Compniacensis to be exact, and is more correctly called “Whiskey Fungus”. While we see it most often around distilleries, a similar effect takes place with black growth on alcohol tanks in other facilities, or mold growth on the bottom of water towers. Nothing new to see here. Especially if you’ve been painting in Kentucky for more than 60 years.
And while distilleries are just a piece of the industry in our state, mold and fungus can arise anywhere. It’s important to know that anti-fungal options exists, but how to choose the right one?
