The creator of the world’s most prestigious whisky, James Chivas, must have been spinning in his grave on Thursday as thousands of litres of precious whisky were accidentally flushed away at a Chivas Brothers production plant in Scotland.
The whisky was somehow mistaken for waste water by workers while cleaning during their night shift. It was not until employees at the Dumbarton sewage station caught a whiff of the alcohol that the mishap was reported. The mixup involved tanks of bulk whisky. The plant employs 600 workers and are now investigating who was responsible for the pricey blunder.
