Celebrate 60 Years of 'Star Trek' With Exclusive Deals on Rare 'Star Trek' Whiskeys

When Star Trek debuted on NBC on September 8, 1966, Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) were too busy fighting off a salt-sucking space monster to enjoy a proper drink. Sixty years later, the iconic franchise has proven that even centuries into the future, humanity's love for a quality glass of whiskey never fades.

From Bones adding "Tennessee whiskey" as his secret campfire ingredient in The Final Frontier to clandestine toasts of illicit alien spirits, Starfleet's finest have always known how to unwind. To celebrate six decades of bold exploration, here are three standout whiskeys every fan and collector should add to their home bar. Take advantage of discounts on two of the bottles—exclusive to Men's Journal readers.

Romulan Stellum Rye Whiskey

In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , Bones famously brings Kirk a bottle of "Romulan Ale" for his birthday, which we quickly learn is the most potent booze in the galaxy. While this is called an "ale" in Star Trek, it's pretty clear that this isn't a beer, but some kind of liquor. Star Trek Spirits has several kinds of Romulan-themed bottles, including a few that are colored blue for that authentic Romulan experience.

The Romulan Stellum Rye Whiskey stands out as the ultimate choice. Encased in a custom vessel replicating the iconic bottle Bones gifted Kirk for his birthday in The Wrath of Khan, this release pairs lore-accurate packaging with serious craftsmanship. Maturation in charred oak cask blends develops a dark, rich profile loaded with decadent tasting notes of browned butter, warm rye spice, toasted oak, and sweet caramel. It makes an unforgettable birthday gift for fellow fans or a perfect pour to toast 60 years of Star Trek—just remember to save the bottle. (Cloaking device not included.)

The Captain's Table: Mission Two

Crafted as the flagship offering from Star Trek Spirits, The Captain's Table: Mission Two is a 10-year-old straight bourbon whiskey hand-selected by the experts at Nashville Barrel Company. Matured in Kelvin Cooperage American oak barrels with a high-rye mash bill (75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley malt), it opens with aromas of rich vanilla, sweet cream, and dried orchard fruit. Each sip builds on layers of vanilla bean, ripe fruit, and subtle rye spice before settling into a long, warm, and elegant finish. More than just an elite pour, it comes encased in "The Octagon"—a sleek collector's vessel with an illuminating base and a detachable magnetic mission medallion—making it a centerpiece worthy of any Starfleet captain.
