      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.
