Whisky Whiskey 52: Can You Taste E150A Colouring In Your Whisky?

6 April, 2025

CURRENT

Having watched many, many videos of people debating the pros and cons of the popular Whisky colouring agent E150A, I managed to snag myself a bottle to put myself to a blind taste test in two rounds. The first round with coloured tap water and the second with Glenmorangie 10 Year Single Malt with E150A added. Out of the six possible combinations…how many did I pick correctly? Let’s settle this once and for all…can you actually taste this stuff in your Whisky?
