Detection technology provider Eluceda last month created something many whisky collectors will enjoy, a rapid and easily portable method to authenticate genuine whisky by detecting the unique electrochemical ‘taste’ of specific batches of product.
With spirits vulnerable to a variety of issues from counterfeiting to refilling and dilution, the ability to authenticate bottles of whisky quickly and cost-effectively is increasingly difficult and it is important to ensure consumer confidence and brand reputation, according to the brand. With Eluceda’s method, results are provided in a few minutes with minimal training needed for those carrying out the test.
