As the blaze spread, wind whipped the fire into a terrifying and awesome tornado

KENTUCKY (Web Desk) --  Move over, Fireball. In footage The Weather Channel broadcast Thursday, a Jim Beam factory in Kentucky received an extra spark to their bourbon after lightning struck the plant back in 2003.

More than 800,000 gallons of fire-fueling bourbon spilled into the factory s retention pond after the strike, quickly catching the booze and water on fire, the station s Matt Sampson explained.

As the blaze spread, wind whipped the fire into a terrifying and awesome tornado.

The fire was eventually put out, but not before it killed a large number of fish. Jim Beam ultimately paid $27,000 in cleanup costs, according to The Weather Channel.

Jim Beam has been around since the 18th century and pulls in roughly $2.5 billion in sales annually, according to The Intercept.

We re just waiting for firenado whiskey to come on the market.
