How to Spot Fake Whiskey (New Research) | Miss Brewbird

The most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold was a Macallan Fine and Rare 60 year old 1926 which sold on Thursday October 24 2019 for a whopping £1.45 million pounds at auction. With whisky commanding such jaw dropping prices, it's no surprise that fraudsters are trying to get in on the action. In Part 2 of 'To Catch a Whisky Fraud' we go over new research which is being developed to detect counterfeit and adulterated whiskey. New techniques include: the artificial tongue, laser spectrometry, and vibrational spectrometry. #fakewhiskey #counterfeit #fake

Lol - it's very interesting! Don't be like that!

[@carlrehnberg4581]

I liked it, to few people talk about the widespread fraud in alcohol production.

[@MissBrewbird]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I was afraid it was a little too technical and hard to understand

[@StassBrewing]

@@MissBrewbird you did a good job of explaining it!

[@BeardedBored]

Fascinating stuff!

[@davidrogers6262]

Whiskey tasting gone high tech! Already subscribed to her site.

[@StassBrewing]

Really interesting! Never considered fraudulent bottles of whisky, but it makes totally sense!

[@scottclay4253]

Very interesting! Technology I have never heard of. Thank you for continuing to educate us. Please keep it coming, you are able to enliven dry technological info and make it interesting. You have a gift, Miss Bind. I am really looking forward to your interview with Bearded, I am expecting great fun and really good “Vibes” between two of my all time favorite KZbin family gurus. Thank you for all you are doing.

Great topic👍the things ppl will do for a quick buck! Glad there’s steps in identifying n stopping such fraudulent dealings

[@MissBrewbird]

Got to be vigilant about these things, otherwise the market will be overrun with counterfeits.

Forgive me for being off topic but I can't find the absinthe video at the moment. Anyways I have a question. What methods are used to control the thujone levels in the production of absinthe? How is it measured? Is there a way for me at home to verify a particular thujone level? And is there a way of lowering thujone after production if it is too high? Thank you. You make wonderful video's

[@MissBrewbird]

I don't have any videos about absinthe on my channel (yet). From taking the IBD course, I believe thujone levels aren't really a huge concern in absinthe as the amount you would have to consume to start having convulsant and psychoactive effects is quite high. I have never made absinthe before though.

I live in China. Fake whiskey is everywhere here (it's usually for decorating). This is super interesting.

[@MissBrewbird]

so people knowingly buy fake whiskey to decorate their homes? weird

[@lukemccoy5279]

@@MissBrewbird yep... At least I think thats why they have it. I'm yet to see someone open a bottle. It's pretty obvious tho, lots of blcak lable and macalan
