Astrolabio®: Your Journey into the World of Whiskey

The astrolabe, one of the most emblematic instruments of the age of great explorations, accompanied sailors, astronomers, and navigators in the search for new worlds, allowing them to navigate unknown waters by measuring the stars. This instrument symbolizes adventure, courage, and curiosity—traits that drove humanity to cross boundaries and write new chapters in history.

Curiously, the astrolabe can also be linked to the history of whiskey, particularly Irish and Scottish whiskey, which has deep roots in the past centuries. During the great explorations and trade routes, whiskey, like spices and tea, was one of the precious goods traveling to Europe, sometimes hidden in the hold of ships to protect the valuable drink from the harsh sea conditions. The routes mapped by astrolabes thus helped spread a tradition that became part of the culture of many countries, transforming whiskey from a simple drink into a symbol of conviviality and history.

Today, while whiskey continues to be enjoyed worldwide, the astrolabe remains a fascinating witness to an era when travel, exploration, and discovery were fueled both by the desire for knowledge and the pleasure of sharing a good whiskey under the starry sky.
