Founded in 2007 in Edinburgh, Scotland, The Whisky Barrel (TWB) is an online liquor e-commerce company that sells whisky and won The Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2019.
On July 17, 2019, TWB released a new self-bottled whisky collection, the Apollo Moon (Apollo Series). This series commemorates the entire Apollo moon landing program, as well as the major historical moments in it. Previously, TBB has launched 12 wines under the Apollo series, and details about this series and each wine can be found at the end of the article.
On July 26, 1971, Apollo 15 was launched. Apollo 15 was the first mission to carry a lunar rover and the first mission not to land at the equator. It lands in the Apennine Mountains in the central northern hemisphere of the Moon. The site is located southeast of Archimedes, at the foot of the Apennine Mountains. On July 30, 1971, Dave Scott and Jim Owen took their first steps on the moon. They are 550 meters away from the planned landing site. Their rover can reach speeds of up to 16 kilometers per hour, which expands the astronauts' exploration range and sample capacity. They walked 23 kilometers and collected 370 samples, weighing 77 kilograms, from the site and the nearby Hadley Rille volcano. At that time, astronauts found a rock that sparkled in the sun and immediately decided to collect the unusual rock (Get that unusual one), which was later named "Genesis Rock", and it was one of the most famous samples brought back from the moon by the United States.
To commemorate this historic moment, TWB has released a new Apollo series, Get that unusual one (hereinafter referred to as GTUO). It is worth noting that, like the 11th and 12th wines of the Apollo series, GTUO's labels are also illustrated by British artist Jamie Coe. GTUO is a single-barrel wine from the Glenrothes distillery in Scotland, distilled in 2009, matured in the first Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead, bottled in July 2021, aged 12 years, 61.1% ABV, 700ml capacity and 312 bottles.
GTUO is priced at £90 and is currently only available on TWB, for more details please move to the sales page (available as of press time): https://www.thewhiskybarrel.com/glenrothes-get-that-unusual-one-12-year-old-2009.
