One might expect some small shop in Podunk USA to do this, but a high-end store? That's insane. Their liquor license should have been immediately forgeited
Crack me up. With the change in liquor laws where I live this is what the local bars do. After closing they fill the bottles with potters and charge the higher end price. Ppl get so wasted they don’t even notice....
Furthermore, even the distiller couldn't say with certainty that it was a fake. You would think that with one sip, he could say it's definitely not the real product. So that tells me that a decent $50 bourbon of the same proof and similar mash bill (recipe) is close enough in taste to a $1,000 bourbon to fool the distiller.
I remember hearing about that on a past episode of Crimewatch (SG), though in that, it was fake liquor bottles at a secluded facility in Malaysia and brought across the border to be sold in Singapore. However, I had imagined the fake drink to just be water with food colouring and certain drugs/medicine mixed in.
Bro selling whisky and Bourbon for higher profit seems like a really fun job, sell 30-60 of these fakes and you already made double minimum wage makes x2. Sell one a day your set for life.... cheers to a new career path 🥃
and they literally just gave away tips on how you could make counterfeits even more believable. It wouldn't be hard to recreate the entire packaging even. You would need a lot of equipment to do it properly though.
@@evacpeppers7806 I bought a bottle of fancy bourbon that was in a glass bottle. I put it into the spot behind the front seat of my truck. Before I even got in to drive home, it slid out (plastic bags suck), and smashed. I could have bought at least three bouncy bottles of booze for that lesson!
All you need to do is add chemistry to the label that will change colour after being exposed to oxygen for a while. Simply add some airtight packaging and fill it with nitrogen and you have your counterfeit-proof bottle. You can just build this technology into an existing wine bottle.

If I was the whiskey manufacturer I would file suit against that store. Selling counterfeits is how you convince people to never trust even the real deal.
There is a law here in which all bars and any other place where alcohol is served have to smash their empty bottles. But there is simply no way to oversee what individuals do with them.
This is why I only buy from distilleries on trips and such when I go there lol; which admittedly is often 😭 No, you’re an alcoholic; I’m not an alcoholic 😁
i think it kind of proves that people will believe something is superior, just because they told it is, why else would this be one of the top liquor places in nyc
Literally as soon as he saw which whiskey he was holding he ran back into the store. They definitely knew what was up.
3:10 The managers reaction confirms that he knew it was a fake.
Wow, way to not look guilty AF on national TV.
😂😂 the guilty always run !
Lol
So damn what happened at Aker? I want to know if the CEO contacted them???
I always break the top part of the bottle after I finish every bottle. Too many of these cases here in Asia.
Who cares. 😂
Smelly feet

I saw this first hand in a sales call, the bar owner was filling the Hennessy bottle with water
It’s essentially stealing
This is why the brand needs to sell to the consumer directly
I don’t drink this, but seems interesting
I don't drink because I'm Christian, but this is interesting. Sad about the scamming.

This is currently a horrible problem in the Dominican Republic. Nearly 150 have died in the last few months due to fake alcohol.
Especially don't drink Johnnie Walker in DR
Only one way to find out, cheers everyone 👍
LOL SMART
Cheers 🤙

Thanks for the new side hustle
Hell yea
They were trying spread awareness to stop this but pretty sure it had the opposite effect and it only gave people idea lmao 😂
I got some empty bottles of patron and don Julio you can fill it up with Costco tequila and sell them! I’ll give u a good price
Drink the booze and replace it with something from the same distillery. Sucker!
This has been going on since the birth of liquor.
This is a good question for people who can tell the difference between whiskey and scotch
I myself drink moonshine specifically this kind my great grandpa had a stash of
U typed voka instead of scotch
That's the first thing novice whiskey drinkers learn. Typically within a few days/weeks of drinking you learn the difference
Bourbon and scotch taste completely different...
What I learned is there's no point in buying any high price whiskey or rum because there's more fakes then the real thing on the market
Furthermore, even the distiller couldn't say with certainty that it was a fake. You would think that with one sip, he could say it's definitely not the real product.

how tf did the horse video in the start have anything to do with whiskey
alcohol is usually consumed at horse races
Kentucky....
They celebrate the horse raced by drinking burboun drinks, didnt you listen?
Kentucky whisky factory, Kentucky Derby last Saturday . it was on the evening news. You get it now?

the best solution to not get scammed is just not drink :/
Not all collectors drink. Sure, most do, though.
That's a problem I don't have to deal with lol
My buddys dad use to do this he'd buy expensive booze to drink and refill it sell it so he could drink expensive booze for next to free
Tell him he's a money scamming rat

I feel bad now Allah forgive me👳🏿 🙏😦
I saw Whiskey was selling on Craigslist, but I’m glad That The 2021 Kentucky Derby is finally back after delay of pandemic in May last year
So the lesson is: do not buy crazy expensive whiskey.
Perhaps buy direct?
There’s a guy in Arkansas just got caught through a social media investigation, it needs to get put on BLAST!
Thats literally what i think about bottled water i always think it might just be tap water on a bottle
If it says filtered water, it's from the tap. Especially if it's owned by Nestle
we buy directly from government stores in VA so no fakes
🤭
Why am watching this, I don't even drink whiskey.
Ok
Cuuuuuz it’s interesting
I don't drink it either and after this video I don't ill start
Who cares? As long as you enjoy it that’s all that matters.
I went to the reviews on Google and Inside Edition viewers have flooded it already 👍😂😂
With the EH Taylor example, that store rep knew it was fake.
Me watching this who can’t even drink:
Theres a scene in the movie The Color of Money where Paul Newman's character is selling this same scam to the bar owners.
Les Trent doing what Lisa Guerrero does best. You love to see it
Yo let's get drunk.
Fake bottle: Lmao ok
Rich people problems. I dont really care if some schmucks get scammed when they buy "high end" products.
Not my Fireball 😉
Thanks for the idea.
If I was the whiskey manufacturer I would file suit against that store. Selling counterfeits is how you convince people to never trust even the real deal.
There is a law here in which all bars and any other place where alcohol is served have to smash their empty bottles. But there is simply no way to oversee what individuals do with them.
Even if the bottle was real whoever buys it is still an idiot for paying $900 over retail price and fueling the secondary market
the shop owner not speaking about it just kills his own company, he should have talked and said he didn't know and fixed it
You know you f'ed up when Les shows up.
Only way to stop it is mass produce it and lower the price to 30 dollers
Don't drink whiskey but do love watching more Inside Edition
We have gotten to a point in humanity where this is news,
This is so common these days... Liquor, sneakers, records, electronics... Hell people even bootleg laundry detergent!!!
This is why I only buy from distilleries on trips and such when I go there lol; which admittedly is often 😭 No, you’re an alcoholic; I’m not an alcoholic 😁
The Buffalo Trace Distillery doesn't sell it's most sought out bourbons during the tours
If you need a chemical analysis to prove your bottle is legit instead of just tasting it, you shouldn't buy high end whiskey.
“I do declare”
I say with a pinky in the air.
Wow I need to know, drink by professionals if it is fake or not
You spent 1000 dollars for nothing ! 😂😂
One way i know is that i sing Tennessee whiskey if i dont dont sing it right its fake
We used fill expensive bottles of vodka with the cheap stuff and give it to bougie girls, they dont know the difference
give free shots to customers enough and they wont know the difference and charge them the mark up for cheap alcohol.
There is clenlivet and jang Daniels in our province. Cheap and laced with fertilizer.
That is a crime.
I was sure this would fail because they went to the finest store possible. Shocked to find out they sell fake stuff.
Who is Whiskey 🥃? Cognac is my bestfriend.😭❤️
That’s fine. I only drink certain brands of rum & tequila, nothing worth a trick up the sleeve.
Gotta respect the side hustle
This is the only reason I like ABC stores. They order straight from the factory
This is why I buy cheap whiskey. It doesn't lie to me.
People who don’t drink don’t need to worry about this. This is why you shouldn’t drink.
Alcohol kills, fake or real.
You can tell the manager was aware that it's fake when the news camera was filming him.
I applaud Inside Edition for spending nearly $1,000 on a bottle of fake whiskey just for this investigation.
i think it kind of proves that people will believe something is superior, just because they told it is, why else would this be one of the top liquor places in nyc
Added security features on bottles will soon be the norm
This is why I inspect and always pour the bottle myself
Next video: Acker, america's oldest winery, is shutting it's doors.
Is it bad that after watching this, I now want a truly? Don’t worry it’s 5 PM rn
This is why you drink Evan Williams
This is we’re the world ends
Thanx inside edition. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
This is why you find a really good cheap wine whiskey or etc. No one is going to fake a $20 bottle and under.
@@michaeljackson8390 kool lol

For 1k, this is a lawsuit
Thats why I dont buy random whiskey for hundreds of dollars.
So is the store in trouble with the law or not?

I’d like to give a shout out to Buffalo Trace for getting back to my email about some concerns I had. In one day!
I see you in Louisville on the computer screen when he was searching the bourbon state
"Everything in our power" oh he knows.
"Biyer beware"...yeah but how is the average consumer gonna know??
who cares as long as it works?
Well I'm glad I don't drink so more money I saved instead of being ripped off 😅
Luckily I am the one who doesn't have to worry about this 😌
Good thing I drink jim beam lol
They would have had to pay me back the cost of the bottle and the cost of testing to the manufacturer or face a lawsuit🤨.
“One mans trash, is another mans cash.”
-probably me
$1000 for a bottle of any alcoholic beverage seems quite ostentatious
So... how I’m supposed to know what’s fake and what’s real at a restaurant... da heck
By chemical analysis I guess...
