Default Re: The official Crossfireforum.org "Scotch/Whiskey Aficionado" thread

The only water in my scotch is what may have condensed onthe chilled glass.

Whisky,,,,Neat,,,,,no water,,,,, no ice,,,,,, no stemware

I know it is a blend but Pinch is a tolerable budget scotch. Very smoky, strong notes, dark amber color.
Lovely aroma. and for those who must,,,it will tolerate ice. Not ot be confused with Pinch Dimple which is very good and very pricey at about $50.00

Speaking of lower class scotch, this sad news just in........
Thousands of litres of whisky 'accidentally' flushed from plant

Thousands of litres of whisky were flushed into the public sewage system at a bottling plant.
The incident occurred at the Chivas Brothers facility in West Dunbartonshire on Tuesday.
Scotch whisky and gin manufacture Chivas, which is owned by Pernod Ricard, said the flushing of the spirit at the Kilmalid site in Dumbarton's Stirling Road was as "accident".
Scottish Water is monitoring the output after workers detected the whisky in the sewage system after the incident.
Chivas said the spirit was "bulk whisky" which would have been used for blending to make some of its brands, such as Ballantine’s and Chivas Regal.
A spokeswoman for the firm said: "We are currently investigating an accidental loss on February 26 at our Dumbarton site when some spirit was released to the local waste water treatment plant operated by Scottish Water.
"We have informed Scottish Water and all other local authorities."
The drinks company also stated that none of the whisky had entered into the River Leven or any other local water sources.
A Scottish Water spokesman said: "Staff at our waste water treatment works were already aware of a problem and were working to identify the source, when contacted by Chivas Brothers.
"We are continuing to closely monitor our Dumbarton Waste Water Treatment Works to ensure treatment has not been compromised
