    ]]>     The story of “whiskey fungus,” an unpleasant side effect of distillation:

    In the neighborhood surrounding [the Hiram Walker Distillery] Lakeshore warehouses, homeowners were complaining about a mysterious black mold coating their houses. And the residents, following their noses, blamed the whiskey. Doyle wanted to know what the mold was and whether it was the company’s fault. Scott headed up to Lakeshore to take a look. When he arrived at the warehouse, the first thing he noticed (after “the beautiful, sweet, mellow smell of aging Canadian whiskey,” he says) was the black stuff. It was everywhere—on the walls of buildings, on chain-link fences, on metal street signs, as if a battalion of Dickensian chimney sweeps had careened through town.

    Bonus quote! “[scientist James Scott] couldn’t name [the mystery whiskey mold] after himself; that’s unspeakably crass in the fungal world.”

    When my fiancée and I did the Kentucky bourbon trail last year, the stuff was everywhere. At the Jim Beam distillery, in particular, to keep the original Beam house looking pristine, they power wash it frequently, and still have to repaint it every year1.

    Here’s a closeup of one of the warehouse walls.
