    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 18,000 liters (4,755 gallons) mentioned in media reports.

    Bulk whisky can be used in various ways, and it wasn’t immediately clear which Chivas brand the liquid was meant to fill.

    Stevenson said Friday she did not want to comment on the spill’s circumstances until the company had completed its investigation.

    The local kiddush club will never be the same again!

    How are we going to tell Rav Adrian Jesner, the (Scottish) rav of the Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation? He might just declare a day’s ta’anit’!

    Shabbat shalom to everybody, and may we all know of no more serious tza’arot than this one..

    Not much of a loss except to the old timers. Now if such an error happened with a tragic loss of Genlivet, Balvenie,Cardhu, Glen Rothes or any of the fine single malts there would be a reason for sorrow.

    It’s only a blended whiskey, not a single malt, so who cares?

    The heading on this story should really be either Scotland or the UK. London is not the UK and neither is it Scotland……..
