\"Shackleton<\/p>\n

Discovered Under Ice<\/h4>\n

To bolster team spirit on his Antarctic expedition in 1907, Sir Ernest Shackleton personally ordered 25 cases of Mackinlay\u2019s Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky.\u00a0 <\/span>A century later, in 2007, three cases of the perfectly preserved whisky were discovered, frozen into the ice beneath Shackleton\u2019s base camp at Cape Royds. <\/span><\/p>\n

The whisky was excavated and flown to New Zealand where it was carefully thawed by the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust in a purpose-built environment and public gallery at Canterbury Museum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After its discovery frozen in the ice, world renowned Master Blender, Richard Paterson, carried out painstaking analysis to re-create this antique whisky, and used this as the foundation to create Shackleton \u2013 a modern Blended Malt with ice in its DNA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Legend Sir Ernest Shackleton<\/b><\/h4>\n

Sir Ernest Shackleton is known as much for his camaraderie and leadership as he is for his adventurous spirit. In 1907, he set sail on his ship, the Nimrod, to lead his first expedition. A quest with one goal, to become the first man to reach the South Pole, Sir Ernest and his team reached further south than anyone before them \u2013 but on January 9th 1909, faced with bitter winds and an exhausted crew, he turned back rather than risk the lives of his team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1914, he set off again, this time his sights set on traversing Antarctica for the first time. His ship, the Endurance, was frozen and crushed in the ice. With five men, Sir Ernest took a small rescue boat and sailed 720 nautical miles in treacherous conditions across the freezing ocean to South Georgia, then traversed the mountain range to a whaling station. From here, he chartered a rescue ship back to his waiting crew, returning all of his men safely home. This feat of strength became known as one of the greatest survival stories of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was with whisky that Sir Ernest brought his crew together to toast wives and sweethearts, celebrate birthdays and foster a sense of team spirit that led them to succeed against the hardest of odds. <\/span><\/p>\n
