Artificial 'tongue' can distinguish between whiskies

The artificial 'tongue' can be used not only for quality control but also to combat counterfeit whiskies

Scientists revealed Tuesday they have come up with an artificial "tongue" which can distinguish subtle differences between whiskies.

Experts at the University of Glasgow have built the miniature taster which can even tell the difference between the same brand aged in different barrels, with more than 99 percent accuracy.
