About This Whiskey
Mackinlay's Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt Journey Edition is a remarkable whisky inspired by the legendary British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. This limited edition whisky pays homage to Shackleton's 1907 Antarctic expedition, during which he famously took a case of whisky with him on his journey, only to have it discovered nearly a century later, preserved in the ice. The whisky in this edition is crafted to evoke the spirit of Shackleton's adventure, both in terms of quality and historical significance. The Journey Edition is based on the same blend of rare Highland malts that were found in Shackleton’s original bottles, which were re-awakened and analyzed before being recreated by the team at Mackinlay’s. This whisky offers an incredible combination of historical inspiration and modern craftsmanship, making it a must-try for whisky lovers who appreciate both adventure and quality.
