Inspired by the whisky left behind by Antarctica by Sir Ernest Shackleton in the early 1900s and discovered frozen but intact over 100 years later, this blended malt continues in the footsteps of The Discovery and The Journey. It's created once again by Master Blender Richard Patterson based on the flavour profile of Shackleton's favourite tipple, though now more accessible than the aforementioned limited edition releases.
Golden Grahams and crunchy brown sugar. A hint of cinnamon-dusted malt.
Juicy apple and orange, with contained honey richness.
Lingering butterscotch and waxy orange.

Just finished a large glass of Shackleton, and a large glass of Glengoyne White Oak. Shackleton was £22 a bottle, Glengoyne was £52 a bottle. The Shackleton was far superior to the Glengoyne in every area except abv. A much superior experience. I love Laphroaig Cask Strength, and Dalwhinnie 15, but don't get fooled by single malt BS. Shackleton is a brilliant whisky at amazing price. Enjoy.
Owing to the fact that it can often be found under the £20 mark, this is currently my go-to daily dram. It can be glugged and mixed guilt-free and I find it smoother and far more interesting than other blends at this price point.
I like this drop, especially for the price. Ignoring the subjective but fascinating background, an attempt to make objective comments on a subjective subject, the tasting: Some commentators have said it is light, and it is. Mild on flavor, it also fades very quickly though the odors can be enjoyed through the backflow through the nose from the throat ( I forgot the technical term for that). It does have a much appreciated well rounded, full mouth taste. The early notes - I didn't get vanilla, more aniseed but yes, mild smoke which was pleasant to pick up.
Fabulous! Salty-sweet. Like sitting on a deserted beach all by yourself and sucking in the whole experience!
A misunderstood Blended Malt. All of my whisky drinking friends have a bottle of this in their whisky stash for when we need a break from the complex stuff. Its often available at a discount and as such is excellent value. An unpretentious regular dram. Tasty, fun, and is a great starter whisky to get people off the grain
