PISSKY: Gilpin Whisky is Recycled from Diabetic’s Urine

  • Gilpin Family Whisky is Recycled from Diabetic's Urine
    James Gilpin has Type 1 Diabetes -- his pancreas doesn't work, forcing him to take shots of insulin to process glucose from food. Gilpin got to thinking about elderly patients with diabetes, like his grandmother, who secrete tons of unprocessed medicine and sugar in their urine. A great idea dawned upon him -- well, perhaps it's a gross idea but we'll leave that up to you -- and he started the Gilpin Family Whisky project, a high end line of single malt whiskey made from the sugar-laden urine of people with diabetes. His grandmother was the first patient to recycle her pee into whiskey!
