Shakelton Whiskey

[Norumbega]

Though a wee dated, what totally absorbing articles. Shackelton fans aside, I cannot fathom how exciting it must have been to literally grab this whiskey from the permafrost after so many years, test it, taste it and then produce a limited run. Oh, if I had the coins. Is anyone else as interested as I was by this discovery and reproduction? I have to tell you, I am very interested in what the reproduction tasted like.

I sampled some a few months ago from a friend's cabinet. It was on the lighter side which is my preference, so I enjoyed it. That said, I really can't get exited about drinking a reproduction; now had it been the original stuff......



Here's a good article on the subject.

Yes - the recreation will be sold as a limited edition at around £100 a bottle.
I think the whole story (see link) is amazing ..!
