Thousands of litres of whisky flushed down drain in Dumbarton!

"Thousands of litres of whisky have been flushed down the drain by accident at a bottling plant in Dumbarton.

It is understood the mix-up happened at Chivas Brothers during the night shift on Tuesday while equipment was being cleaned.
Instead of draining away waste water, the workers on duty somehow flushed out thousands of litres of bulk whisky."

My Dad actually worked in the still house of a distillery. The part where the big copper pot stills are heated before the whisky is distilled out of the wort. On one occasion, in the process before the wort was transferred down to the copper stills, an employess flushed a whole batch out. Whoops!! There were three mashes/batches per week and that was mega money down the drain.

Once its been filtered it will become natural spring water with a whiskey whiff.
