Suntory Is Sending Its Whisky Into Space

Suntory Is Sending Its Whisky Into Space

With the goal of studying the effects zero gravity and stable temps have on the mellowing process of its whisky, Suntory is embarking on a mission to send six samples of its booze to the International Space Station’s Japanese Experiment Module. Included are a 21-year-old single malt and a freshly distilled sample of Suntory’s prized hooch. Some will return to Earth in a year’s time to see what some of the planet’s finest whisky tastes like after the time away. Perhaps some space spirits are on the way.
