Ultrasound Machine Ages Wine

Inventor Casey Jones says his creation uses ultrasound technology to recreate the effects of decades of aging by colliding alcohol molecules inside the bottle. Mr. Jones said, "This machine can take your run-of-the-mill £3.99 bottle of plonk and turn it into a finest bottle of vintage tasting like it costs hundreds. It works on any alcohol that tastes better aged, even a bottle of paintstripper whisky can taste like an 8-year-aged single malt." The Ultrasonic Wine Ager, which looks like a Dr. Who ice bucket, takes 30 minutes to work and has already been given the thumbs up by an English winemaker. I know a certain special lady who is about to have the best bottle of Boone's Farm in the world.

Whiskey == Burnt Oak Juice.

Whiskey is aged in *charred* oak casks. It takes significant flavor from them. I really don't understand why people debate over the merits single- and double- malt, etc, when the dominant flavor (as far as I can tell) by far is the drum it "aged" in.

 

In fact, I'd wager that an untrained tongue would have difficulty telling the difference between some whiskeys and a decoction of charred oak chips prepared with filtered water.
