On the rocks: the whisky lost for 100 years
2009
Overview
Two crates of the now extinct Rare Old brand of McKinlay and Co whisky have been buried in the Antarctic ice since [Ernest Shackleton] was forced to abandon his polar mission in 1909. Mr [Richard Paterson] said Shackleton's whisky could still be drinkable and taste exactly how it did 100 years ago, but conceded that the bottles could have been damaged due to the changing conditions in the Antarctic. \"When that whisky was made it would have been quite heavy and peaty, as that was the style in the early 1900s,\" he added. \"It may taste the same as it did back then if the cork has stayed in the bottle and kept it airtight.\"
