Default Shackleton's whisky recovered
Shackleton's whisky recovered from South Pole ice

After more than 100 years under the ice, Ernest Shackleton's Whisky from the Antarctic expedition in 1908 has been found and saved.

Maybe they can replicate the original blend so that we can taste how Whisky tasted 100 years ago.

A reliable source indicated that there was 3 cases of whisky and 2 of Cognac. Don't know how many bottles of each that has survived.

Well, not that I could ever purchase one single bottle, or glass for that matter, of that cognac with my salary. But as a cognac-lover, I would like to stay with that dream
