2018, Food ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The use of organoleptic methods to discriminate the quality of spirits has been investigated with studies pointing out variable results arising from differences in taste perception (Lachenmeier, Kanteres, & Rehm, 2011). Sensory analysis was not able to differentiate between absinthes of different quality levels including counterfeit products (Lachenmeier, 2007) and also different strengths of alcohol, such as spirits of 30% vs. 40% or 40% vs. 50% alcohol (Lachenmeier, Kanteres, & Rehm, 2014; Lachenmeier, Pflaum, Nieborowsky, Mayer, & Rehm, 2016). Nonetheless, differentiation between premium tequila 100% agave and mixed tequila was possible with 100% agave products being preferred by the test panel (Lachenmeier, 2006).
