Bungling workers flushed thousands of litres of whisky down the drain at a bottling plant by accident.
Staff are thought to have dumped the spirit by mistake during a night shift while they cleaned equipment.
Instead of emptying out waste water at Chivas Brothers in Dumbarton they chucked out the whisky.
The boozy smell was so strong that sewage workers reported the odour.
Chivas Brothers said the incident on Tuesday night was being investigated.
A statement added: “There has been no release of spirit to the River Leven or any other local water course.”
The West Dunbartonshire plant employs 600 workers and produces Ballantine’s, the world’s second biggest-selling brand of whisky.
Scottish Water said: “We are continuing to closely monitor our Dumbarton waste water treatment works to ensure that the treatment has not been compromised.”
