Shackleton whisky - blended malt with the character of a polar explorer
Shackleton Whisky is a modern interpretation of the "Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky" blend, which Sir Ernest Shackleton took with him on his Nimrod expedition in 1907. The brand is based on the spirit of the explorers and combines a robust character with subtle notes of vanilla and honey.
Region & Origin
Inspired by bottles that were discovered stored under the ice of Cape Royds in Antarctica for over 100 years, the blend comes from single malt distilleries in Speyside, Iceland and the Highlands. It is based on the expedition tea that Shackleton and his crew left behind in the eternal ice in 1907.
Production & craft
Today's version is produced in Scotland as a blended malt in modern facilities - based on historical recipes, but with modern standards. The alcohol content of 40% vol. (or 47.3% in the original Rare Old Highland Malt formula) ensures a balanced taste experience.
