A massive cloud of gas located near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains a significant amount of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), alongside other complex molecules, is essentially a giant cloud of "space alcohol." This cloud is often described as smelling like "raspberry rum" due to the presence of certain esters.
