So sad (and I’m not especially a fan of the stuff) —
The night shift at a Chivas Brothers distillery screwed up this week and accidentally flushed about 6,000 gallons of Scotch whisky down the drain, according to reports from Scotland.
The 80-proof goof happened early Tuesday at a bottling plant in Dumbarton, where workers were cleaning equipment. Instead of purging the wastewater, they instead expelled 18,000 liters of bulk whisky into the local sewage system.
“It was like someone turned on a tap, and it just ran straight down the plughole,” an “insider” told The Scottish Sun.
