Engineers plan to age Scotch whisky in space for the first time in 2028

Engineers from Scotland and Japan are set to launch Scotch whisky into space in 2028 to study its aging process in microgravity. The project, named 'Space Puffin,' aims to observe how extreme temperature changes affect whisky maturation. However, independent confirmation of the project's specifics is limited, and the scientific understanding of whisky aging in space is still evolving.
