How to distinguish whiskey from fake

Whiskey, like any other good alcohol, is very popular in the black market. Producers of fakes are calculated on the inexperience of the consumer and lure a reduced price. Not knowing some secrets, it is quite simple for this trick.

You need to purchase goods in a large store, preferably specializing in alcoholic beverages. Small dots, and even more so the kiosks are potentially dangerous: they often cannot provide appropriate licenses, do not work directly with a plant or certified sales representative. If it is known in advance which brand of alcohol will be purchased, you should go to the manufacturer's website and find out the appearance of the bottle, the means of protection. At each bottle, an excise stamp must be present.

Do not buy frankly cheap whiskey. Take a look at the adjacent store shelves, compare prices. Of course, drinks with the label "Deluxe", "Premium" are more expensive than the rest, but in general the patterns to trace easily.

Selecting the bottle, read the composition of the drink. In the present whiskey will never meet dyes, flavors or other dubious ingredients. If any, it is better to choose another option.

Next, we will examine the contents of beautiful packaging. A good whiskey is distinguished by transparency, its color ranges between light yellow and brown. The precipitate, turbidity, foreign flakes in the drink - a sign of low quality. In addition, the bottle must be shaken before the formation of bubbles. The latter should be large and long staying on the surface. Drops in excellent whiskey flow across the glass slowly.

An open bottle should not exhibit a strong alcoholic fragrance, the smell is more oak or malt. Quality whiskey for a long time leaves the aftertaste.

Since the alcohol industry is expanding every day, it is not easy to navigate it. The most high-quality brands of whiskey are recognized as: Highland Park, Macallan, Glenfarclas, Hankey Bannister, Yoichi and Hibiki.

And of course, a good whiskey from the fake is distinguished by the lack of a hangover syndrome. But only in the case when its acceptable amount is released. In exceeded doses, even the most expensive alcohol will become malicious for health.
