An artificial 'tongue' that can taste minute differences between varieties of Scotch whisky could be the key to identifying counterfeit alcohol, scientists say
Engineers from the universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde in Scotland created a device made of gold and aluminum and measured how it absorbed light when submerged in different kinds of whisky.Analysis of the results allowed the scientists to identify the samples from Glenfiddich, Glen Marnoch and Laphroaig with more than 99% accuracy.
The project could be extended to tasting other liquids, said the paper's lead author, Alasdair Clark, from Glasgow University.
