Mackinlay's
Scotland
Yes, this is it – an exact replica of the whisky left in Antarctica by Sir Ernest Shackleton during his Antarctic expedition between 1907 and 1909. The whisky was recreated down to the very last detail by Whyte and Mackay’s blender extraordinaire, Richard Paterson. The final replica bottle of Mackinlay’s blend contains whiskies from Speyside, the islands, and the Highlands, and the recipe even includes some very rare 1983 Glen Mhor!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Light honey, straw gold with shimmering highlights.
Soft, elegant & refined. Delicate aromas of crushed apple, pear and fresh pineapple arouse the senses. The spirit is exciting and vibrant with attractive notes of oak shavings that release hints of buttery vanilla, creamy caramel and nutmeg. A whisper of marmalade, cinnamon and even a tease of smoke, ginger and muscovado sugar completes this spectrum of delight.
With a generous strength of 47.3% this gives the spirit plenty of impact on the palate but in a mild warming manner. Harmonious and exhilarating. Whispers of gentle bonfire smoke slowly give way to spicy rich toffee, treacle and pecan nuts. These enticing flavours linger lovingly on the palate but are soon combined by a sensual, complex array of creme brulee, orange rind and freshly baked bread. It is a remarkable tapestry of tantalising taste sensations which truly rewards the palate.

I saw a bottle of the Shackleton whiskey in a shop(empty) and it sure looks like a collectors item!
Loved the packaging and the history. Bought two, one to drink, one to display. Enjoy 1 oz and 1 tabelspoon water in my Churchill nosing glass and the re reading of the book "Endurance".
Absolutely smooth no need for a wee drop of water to take any edge off . Lovely
A great whisky, the only problem is where to get more! The only source is on Condor on the Channel Island Route that I can find. Going to Edinburgh in August are there any stocks there?
Found half dozen bottles in Johannesburg duty free at 50 pound a bottle only purchased one so some left last week
