Description

Shackleton ordered 25 cases of Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky to take on his expedition of 1907. In 2007, eleven intact bottles containing this perfectly preserved whisky were recovered from under the ice beneath Shackleton's base camp. Master Blender, Richard Paterson, created this Shackleton whisky as a personal and deeply felt project, combining the best Highland malt whiskies to recreate the flavor profile of Shackleton's favorite tipple. This general release is a more accessible version than the earlier limited edition 'Discovery' and 'Journey' releases.
