Wee Nip

Here's an exciting new scotch you might be interested in- whisky made from the urine of diabetic patients.

The biomedical tipple - named "Gilpin Family Whisky" (after it's "founder") is created using the high-sugar urine produced by elderly diabetes patients, including Gilpin's own grandmother.  He filters the urine using the same processes used to purify water, removing the sugars in the process, which are then used in the fermentation stages.

But don't worry, Gilpin isn't planning to market the piss whisky commercially, but if you fancy sampling some of the stuff, it  will be shown at the 100% Materials design event in London in September- complete with tasting opportunities.  :o)
