The FAKE Whisky Problem Nobody Talks About

In 2017 a man paid nearly 10,000 Swiss francs for one glass of whisky in a St Moritz hotel. The bottle said Macallan, 1878. Carbon dating at Oxford put the liquid at 1970. Then researchers tested 55 more bottles from the open market. 21 came back fake. And when Macallan set out to buy back around 100 antique bottles of its own whisky, every one they tested was a forgery. How the fraud works, and what to check before you spend serious money on an old bottle. Slàinte. #whisky #scottish #drink
