Whisky made from Urine (not a joke)

Yeah I saw this one, it's been all over Twitter. At the risk of taking it a bit too seriously - it's slightly misleading to call it a single malt, no? They even state that "once fermented into a clear alcohol spirit, whisky blends are added to give colour".

The connection to the urine is pretty much irrelevant when it is extracted at a molecular level. Pure sugar is just sugar, no matter where it comes from.

A funny (if not a little unsettling) story and quite typical of Wired.

@LeFrog I believe it to be a hoax, as the article also claimed the pissky (for lack of a better word) would be shown (and tasted) at the Materials 2010 event in London, but when looking over their list of exhibitors, it was nowhere to be found. It's - at the very best - a work of art (comparable to Belgian artist Wim Delvoye's 'Cloaca' - aka the sh*t machine). Much ado about nothing.

@quirkzoo Oh, not to mention the legal impossibility to call this whisky of course, for whisky needs to be a distillate of grain, not gran (I read the artist uses urine from his grandmother as well, yikes!)
