scotch whiskies found that more than a third of the bottles' contents were fake. the research, at a carbon dating laboratory, established that 21 out of 55 whiskies were not what they claimed to be. at least one of them didn't even qualify as whisky. james shaw has been finding out more. vintage whiskies can cost thousands of pounds. these bottles may look like the real thing, but they are not what they seem. scientists at the scottish universities environmental research centre spent nine months testing allegedly vintage whiskies and made some surprising discoveries. we tested 55 bottles of single malt scotch whisky, out of which 21 have proved to be fake. we've come across bottles that were meant to be from the 1850s, and clearly they weren't. when they dated out, the liquid was dated to around the 1980s. the team used radiocarbon dating to pinpoint the age of the whiskies they were testing.

the technique is based on radiocarbon dating. we have to take a sample through the cork as carefully as we can, probably about a millilitre or so. we then have to distil the ethanol, the alcohol, from the sample. we then convert that ethanol through to solid carbon, and in the carbon is measured in a mass spectrometer, which we can then relate to the age of the whisky. because of the potential money to be made, the business of creating fake rare whiskies has become highly sophisticated. this is a closure that's been made to look like it is turn—of—the—century, because it's a driven cork with a lead capsule on top of it. we do find that a number of these bottles will have a blend in them when it's meant to be a malt. we find that there is what we think are just cheaper versions of the whisky that is meant to be in there. this is a serious problem for the growing market in rare whiskies, but the team who carried out these tests may have found a way

she went into the grass! definitely one to watch. known for role—playing games like mass effect developers bioware are embarking on a new action based shooter, anthem. players strap themselves into excel suits called javelins in order to chute the snort out of bad the snot out of bad guys big and small. the suits are upgradable and can be customised and multiplayer looks likely to be a key element. a little reminiscent of destiny, and some could find it difficult to carve a niche for itself in a sci—fi shooter market more crowded than a tokyo subway. remember, we are a team. i am right there with you. after far cry five cult antics, far cry new dawn takes place in the same locations after eight nuclear locations after a nuclear apocalypse has occurred.
