Born Adventurous

In 1907, Sir Ernest Shackleton put together a crew for his Antarctic expedition. The goal: to be the first person ever to reach the South Pole. To strengthen the team spirit, he took 25 cases of Mackinlay's whisky on board, of which eleven perfectly preserved bottles were found in the Antarctic ice 100 years later. The world-famous master blender Richard Paterson took them on board and, after extensive analysis, created a modern blended malt as a tribute to Sir Ernest. For Shackleton Whisky, a selection of the finest Highland single malts are gently blended in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, bringing the taste of Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Single Malt and the adventurous spirit of Shackleton to the present day.
