Published on Dec 16, 2019

We have an extremely cool and fun collaboration to announce, that fits in perfectly with our branding and the type of company Skeptic Distillery is.  We're teaming up with Higher Orbits, an organization dedicated to increasing interest in STEM and outer space in kids and students, and Sugarhouse Aerospace, a startup rocket company based in Sugarhouse, UT, to launch some of our gin botanicals into outer space on a rocket!  This rocket will spend 3-7 minutes over the Kármán line (100km or ~62 miles above the Earth), which will represent the first botanicals ever shot into outer space.  We will then use these botanicals in a special limited release of Skeptic Gin with its own unique label, for which we will donate a portion of the profits to Higher Orbits to support STEM projects for students.  

The launch was supposed to be Saturday, December 14th, but had to stand down due to weather.  It will be rescheduled soon.  We'll post again after it's successful (crossing our fingers!!), but in the meantime please follow Higher Orbits and Sugarhouse Aerospace on their social media platforms for updates.  They also plan to livestream the launch when it happens.
