Beware Your Favourite Rum And Whisky Might Not Be Aged In A Barrel But In A Lab FssaiBeware, your favourite rum and whisky might not be aged in a barrel, but in a lab: FSSAIThe FSSAI has alleged that several rum and whisky variants used artificial flavouring and misleading labelling instead of traditional ageing methods. According to statements from the Health Ministry and FSSAI, laboratory tests flagged widespread non-compliance across many popular whisky and rum variants. The major ingredient of the rum is neutral (unmatured/unaged) spirit, while the matured rum spirit is only a minor ingredient of the rum (less than 5% as per investigation findings).

Associated Alcohol & Breweries (Madhya Pradesh): Flagged for Central Province Whisky and McDowell’s No.
