A new study from Germany reveals that artificial intelligence, specifically an algorithm named OWsum, can distinguish whiskey aromas better than human experts. Trained on 16 whiskey samples, the AI achieved nearly 94% accuracy and recognized different types with 100% accuracy using chemical data. While AI's capabilities are impressive, it still cannot replicate the nuanced sensory experiences of human tasters. The article also mentions recent developments in whiskey, including the return of the Van Winkle Whiskey Collection.
