I walk into my local wine store to buy a bottle of cheap white wine ( making wild mushroom risotto...and cheap white wine is a necessity)...and they’re serving samples of this. From the little I know, apparently through chemistry and physics, the inventors claim to age barely few days old spirit to be equivalent as years in the normal aging process. Amazing concept. But that’s where it ends. It’s an experiment that probably never should’ve been bottled for consumption. Not neat at least. Maybe palatable if used in a 90/10 soda/experimental whiskey drink proportion.
The aroma should’ve clued me in. Industrial solvents, spilled bottle of benzene ( I worked in a lab in my early 20s). Taste like licking freshly synthesized plastic. There’s this solvent taste that I just can’t get over.
I saw it priced $40. That’s about $40 too expensive.

The reviews on Lost spirit isn't too bad. Interesting...
Interesting! Good review :-). Never seen such a low score on distiller. I read an interesting article on Lost Spirits which uses UV light to accelerate the process of making peated whiskey. Be interesting to see if any good
Life is too short (and you have way too many bottles) to drink miserable whisky :)
There are some ideas that should remain in the mind and not achieve reality. This is one of them.
@Scott_E @dubz480 thankfully, I had a free 1/2 ounce sample. I’d be kicking myself if I bought a bottle
@PBMichiganWolverine I remember reading an article on producing whiskey by understanding all the chemical components and their proportions. I wonder if this experiment is that whisky. Maybe you can add some ammonia and make a good house cleaner. Could have been worse. Could have cost you $50.
spilled bottle of benzene!! love it! sounds like you needed a negative star option for this one!
@Richard-ModernDrinking lab grown whiskey. Too bad this didn’t turn out like Impossible Burger.
Is there a lower rated whisky on Distiller? An average of 1.2 over 10 reviews is impressive.
