Description

MacKinlay's Shackleton Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is a recreation of the whisky supplied to Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1907 British Antarctic Expedition. The original whisky was discovered in 2007 in Antarctica, leading to its analysis and subsequent recreation by Master Blender Richard Paterson. This general release, bottled at 40% ABV, aims to capture the essence of the original 'Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky'. It is a blend of Highland single malts, with some sources mentioning Speyside and Island malts as well.

There is a pleasant tension here between the sweet toffee apple and the smoked lemon, with mineral water and pebbles adding a stony edge. The palate keeps that balance going through tart green apple and lightly smoked granary notes, alongside treacle toffee. I like that the smoke stays gentle rather than taking over. The finish is fairly short, but the waxy orange and prominent nuttiness give it a clear closing character.

the apple and toffee combination gives this a clear, inviting direction, with vanilla and malt fitting my usual preferences. there’s plenty of sweetness across the notes, while dry oak and the fairly short finish keep it from sounding especially rounded. overall, an appealing, straightforward blended malt.
