Central Mutual Insurance Company, No. 24-cv-4169 (S.D.N.Y.), which concerned a catastrophic collapse of storage racks holding whiskey barrels at Vale Fox’s distillery, destroying over $2.5 million worth of aging single malt whiskey. The court determined there was coverage for Vale Fox’s loss but left the issue of valuation to be determined another day.
