Invergordon ARTEMIS – Orion 1st Launch Accomplished 30 Year Old 1991 is a rare and evocative Highland single grain Scotch whisky, created to commemorate a defining moment in modern space exploration—the successful launch of the Artemis I mission on 16th November 2022 from the Kennedy Space Center, sending the Orion spacecraft on its historic journey toward the Moon.
Distilled in 1991 and matured for three decades, this exceptional single grain was drawn from a single ex-Islay barrel (#TWB1030) and bottled in 2022. To honour this milestone in humanity’s return to lunar exploration, The Whisky Barrel selected this remarkable cask as the First Launch Accomplished Edition. Just 204 individually numbered bottles were released, making it a truly limited and collectible expression.
