Did you know that whiskey has been aged in space? Turns out, it gets really weird when that happens! Several companies have tried aging their whiskey on the ISS. This song is about the Suntori distillery and their endeavors.

[Verse1]
From Hakushu comes the barley, from Yoichi comes the yeast
Distilled in Nagoya, it’s the spirit of the East
But finest, most exquisite taste Suntory’s ever birthed
Was aged in a lab floating high above the Earth

[Chorus]
So, follow me lads, cause we’re launching into space
One dram down, you can feel it in your face
Five drams, jolly, there’s no gravity or stress
It’s Japanese whiskey from the ISS

[Verse 2]
The aging process changes in microgravity
With hints of fruit, earthy peat, ham and aniseed
The aftertaste is pungent as it oozes through your heart
It tastes much stronger than its Earthly counterparts

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There’s so many flavor compounds, that we don’t understand
The Brownian motion’s prevalent, its affects cannot be planned 
So join us in the heavens on an experimental spree
You’re floating up in LEO, boys, come have a drink with me

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Now you can add vermouth or ice if you request
Or you can drink it neat and grow some hair upon your chest
Mizuwari, oyuwari, no wrong way to go
Just turn up the shanties when the whiskey starts to flow

[Chorus]
