I’ll stick with white oak barrels, thanks.

How about, “liquid cigarettes”?

He also noted that the whiskey's aftertaste was "pungent, intense, and long, with hints of wood, antiseptic lozenges, and rubbery smoke.

Does it still get you hammered?

[Lurker]

Probably the lack of temperature variation and steady climate controlled humidity.

Cosmic rays.

Expect the tasters to spontaneously combust, turn invisible, have their body turn to rubber or metamorphise into a giant rock creature in short order.

The astronauts drank the good stuff and replaced it with their own bathtub gin with a shot of pee. Just sayin’

[Tijeras_Slim]

So much for our careers as astronauts.

High energy radiation nucleation and damage IMO.
But at least ISS is being put to good use.

I’m thinking that the issue is microgravity and surface tension, and they likely didn’t consider the idea of spinning the barrels so that the whiskey would actually be in constant contact with the charred oak.

So, no, it isn’t ‘space’ whiskey, it is ‘microgravity whiskey’.

[smokingfrog]

Never mind. I see it was only aged in space.
