This is the second time this has happened at this bottling plant, but the best one for us, happened a few years ago when vandals got into the Cooperage and rolled 20 or so barrels into the river. Several of them washed up on our beach and each still had a few gallons of pure whisky in them. Several local worthies were not seen for a week.

I actually prefer blended whisky. And I'm Scottish with Irish ancestry. Did I lose my credentials?

Chivas Brothers - which employs 600 workers at the plant and produces the world's second biggest-selling brand, Ballantine's - said it was investigating an accidental release of spirit.
Will soon read...
Chivas Brothers - which now employs 6 workers at the plant due to a recent spilage of thousands of litres in a river which put the company into a dire finacial situation. It produces the world's second biggest-selling brand, Ballantine's.

The major part of the value in the lost spirit was duty - I don't think duty would have been paid on that yet, so it's just a loss of some alcohol, cheaply enough. Even if duty had been paid, it might be re-claimable as the spirit wasn't sold.
