Captain Kirk Gets His Very Own Whiskey

Fill my glass and beam me up. Star Trek James T. Kirk straight bourbon whiskey is the Final Frontier in booze. Because when you are a space explorer shagging every alien in sight, you need a drink now and then.

Kirk’s whiskey is selected from choice barrels aged between 4-12 years. Each small batch release of James T. Kirk has notes of caramel, Asian 5 spice and pecan. Is it worthy of the man that shares its name? I have no idea, but I’m willing to find out.

I think James T. Kirk would be proud. Remember to drink responsibly. Never drink and command a starship at the same time. Otherwise you keep crashing and before you know it, Your Enterprise A is the Enterprise F, for “what the F” have I done?

While their slogan is “Go Boldly. Drink Responsibly,” here are some others they missed out on: “Drink up and boldly go where no one has gone before,” “Beam up your taste buds,” “Sh*tfaced, The Final Frontier,” and lastly, “F*ck Romulan Ale.”

This 90-proof whiskey should be available by October and sell for around $70 for a 750ml bottle.
