Whisky or Whiskey

Interesting fact… Mackinlay’s Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Mackinlay’s Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt whiskey, instead of whisky.

Shackleton Whisky Bottling Note

Yes, this is it – an exact replica of the whisky left in Antarctica by Sir Ernest Shackleton during his ill-fated South Pole 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 Island, and the Highlands, and the recipe even includes some very rare 1983 Glen Mhor!

This is a limited release of 50,000 bottles, and £5 from each bottle will be donated to the Antarctic Heritage Trust. Click here to read more about this fantastic endeavour on our blog.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

From Whyte and Mackay…

Colour - Light honey, straw gold with shimmering highlights.

Nose - 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.

Taste - 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.

Tastes like peat moss

Mr Log

Over priced for what it is - nothing special

Big Cat Daddy

After it sat on the tongue for a few seconds, it reveiled it's taste. And it was wonderful and warm. The fruits and toffee tastes were a thing of beauty...Thank you for the reprise. Mackinlays Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt.....worth every the wait.

Tomas Fyhr

Mmmmmm. Very nice dram. Dry, fruit an a very small but nice hint off smoke.

Remarkable

Not usually one to drink Scotch, but I had a sip at an event I was at and I am quite impressed with how smooth and flavorful it was.

Not worth the price tag unless you are a collector

Tried a drop at Aberdeen duty free - a good whisky, complex with lots of flavor as described above but nothing special and you can buy a similar quality for less than half this price...

shacks whiskey

Mr Vladimir Abramovic
