The Mystic Galactic bourbon whiskey has been unveiled by the Mystic Farm & Distillery in North Carolina as a spirit that's sure to catch the eye of space enthusiasts alike. The spirit is a wheated bourbon with a 45% ABV that will be sent into low orbit for one year around the Earth before being bottled once it has reached 100-proof. The spirit is thus expected to yield between 1,000 and 1,500 bottles to give it a limited-edition profile.
The Mystic Galactic bourbon whiskey can be reserved now by purchasing an NFT for $75,000 to ensure that a bottle is headed your way. The distillery is presently working with brands like SpaceX, Rocketlab and Bank of America to get the project off the ground.
