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.
