    Default U.K. DISASTER!

    U.K. distillery accidentally flushes whiskey into sewer

    Source: CBS News

    LONDON A massive spill at a Chivas plant has sent the smell of spirits flowing through a Scottish sewer and sorrow coursing through the hearts of Scotch whisky fans. Chivas Brothers Ltd. spokeswoman Jennifer Stevenson says the group is investigating what she described as an "accidental loss" of spirit at the company's bottling plant in Dumbarton, Scotland on Feb. 26.

    She declined to estimate how much of the bulk whisky had been lost, saying only that it was less than the 4,755 gallons mentioned in media reports.

    BBC News reported that workers who were cleaning equipment during the night shift on Tuesday accidentally flushed away thousands of liters of whisky instead of waste water.

    That should sanitize the sewer system and create a possibility of explosion when the alcohol evaporates.
