  1. They only realized there was something wrong with it after Big Jock Mctaggart fell ill after only 3 litres

    I honestly didn’t know it was possible for Glen’s vodka to get worse. Learned something new today.

  3. Fake Glens…. How much are they fucking saving on that shit, it’s cheaper than tap water anyway, even though it is the exciting vodka.

  4. Why would anyone drink it fake or not with minimum alcohol pricing. Buy a brand for the same price. If it’s being sold under the minimum pricing you’re taking a risk it’s pish.

  5. Haven’t drunk Glen’s since I was a desperate uni student 15 years ago. I think I’d stand a better chance with the fake version.

    > Isopropanol (isopropyl, IPA) is a toxic alcohol not suitable for human consumption.

    Whereas Glen’s is….?

  7. That’s bizarre to me. Don’t want to knock anyone for their taste in drinks, but effectively selling spoiled/toxic goods via shops seems like something has seriously gone wrong in the supply chain. 

    It’s also interesting that they don’t seem to be questioning the producers for making a contaminated product. It either means somewhere along the way someone has swapped these bottles in, or there’s a supplier counterfeiting. Neither really makes sense, as Glen’s is cheap as chips and wouldn’t give you much of a margin, and there’s no profit in straight up poisoning alcoholics.
