Mystic Farm and Distillery said its new whiskey, Mystic Galactic, will be the rarest spirit ever produced.

The distillery plans to work with companies such as SpaceX, Inversion Space, Bank of America, and others to finance, design, test and build vessels to send five barrels of whiskey to Low Earth Orbit for one year of additional aging.

"We're redefining what it means to make a rare spirit," said Jonathan Blitz, co-owner of Mystic. "Only about 1,300 people on the planet will ever have the opportunity to taste and own this piece of whiskey history. It's the height of luxury and exclusivity, not to mention the first commercial product manufactured in space."

The distillery said buyers can order by placing a $75,000 deposit. Each purchaser will get a nonfungible token (NFT) to prove authenticity and their right to ownership. Purchasers will also have exclusive access to an app that displays real-time mission data, as well as admission to exclusive launch and reentry parties.

The remaining bottles will be sold at a market price after initial orders are fulfilled.

It sounds interesting. Would drinking this whiskey mean that Chris Spain would add my urine to his flown artifact registry? I could bottle my pee and let Heritage, RR, Donnis and others recoup my investment. When they sell my flown fluids at auction, will a COA be sufficient or should I provide a video of me drinking it? Imagine the mess when filling up each little vial.

I'm gonna sell so much of my flown pee, I'll be able to afford my own mission of five barrels. What happens if the payload is impacted by orbital debris and the contents are turned into frozen little whiskey ice cubes? What happens if the whiskey ice cubes impact another LEO vehicle, are the investors responsible for the damages? I just had a vision of the movie "Gravity," imagine the product placement possibilities when George Clooney reaches under his couch and pulls out a bottle of this whiskey.

How Many Bottles Will Be Produced?

Our barrels routinely lose between 10 and 15 gallons due to angel's share losses. We expect that while we will send full barrels up, we expect the barrels will come down at least 7% less full than at launch. We feel comfortable selling 1000 bottles, with the expectation that the entire release will not exceed 1500 of the 750ml bottles.

Mystic Galactic is aged for a minimum of four years - three years on Earth and one year in orbit.
