Artificial tongue for recognizing counterfeit whiskey has been developed by Scottish researchers
An artificial “tongue” which can taste subtle differences between whiskies could help tackle the counterfeit alcohol trade, according to researchers.
They have built a tiny taster which exploits the properties of gold and aluminium to test differences between the spirits.
The technology can pick up on the subtler distinctions between the same whisky aged in different barrels – BBC wrote on its news portal.
It can tell the the difference between whiskies aged for 12, 15 and 18 years.
Engineers say the tongue “tasted” the differences with greater than 99% accuracy. (MTI)
