Mixing gold ions into whiskey can reveal its flavor...The finding could offer master blenders a cheap, quick test for checking spirit quality

Master blenders sometimes conduct tasting sessions to gauge agedness, but this process can be labor intensive.

And a lot of fun.

[GingisK]

Yes, the old way is clearly better.

Where do I apply for one of these jobs??.......................😜

I'm just gonna admit it, I'm a fan of Evan Williams.

I don't understand how they get away with selling it as bottom shelf swill.

It's good stuff! Aged 5-7 year, 86 proof. I'll take to over Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.

But my first favorite whiskey is Jim Beam Black. Unfortunately, Biden's inflation has made it a bit cost prohibitive.

It actually hasn't gone up in price. Still $47/1.75. Unfortunately, everything else has gone up in price so now I'm trying to save $20.

Evan Williams!

I’m sure taste test volunteers could easily be found.

PEOPLE WILL START MAKING THEIR OWN............................AGAIN.....................😉

I’ll work for free!.......................

Sounds to me like an over tasted beer taster thought up a way to get his hands on some gold.

My experience is that after drinking about a half a bottle of whisky, vodka or rum... My interest in what brand it is dissipates... As long as I’m drunk... I’m good.

Or get it premade with gold. Goldschläger

I shall offer my services to all distilleries in Scotland as a “Master Taster of Single Malt.” I work cheap but demand the services of a driver. DWI in Scotland is expensive. That blended crap is be judged by one of a lesser palate, not I.

LOL

I'm an Evan man. Do we need to start a support group? :>)

[Organic Panic]

I only buy the freshest whiskeys. Who wants that old stale stuff?

[Organic Panic]

Costco has their own brand whiskeys that is really good. And the Kirkland Vodka is just Grey Goose at about 1/4 the cost.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Evan Williams Bottled and Bond is even better and only a bit more expensive.

[Rio]

Evan is my friend as well.

[Rio]

Evan Williams Bottled and Bond is even better and only a bit more expensive.

Is that the 100 proof one? It was too strong for me.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Maybe. I was also gonna recommend Wild Turkey 101, but I guess you prefer smoother stuff.

You can often get Buffalo Trace for under $20 a bottle for 750ml. That's a nice smooth drink.

And the women all get prettier as well.................😜
