Preserved in ice for 100 years, the whisky Shackleton used to keep out the cold.

They say whisky matures with age...but leaving it embedded in the Antarctic ice for almost 100 years may be going a bit far.

I volunteer to check it out.

My favorite scotch is Dalmore 12 year.

And I'm 95% Scottish (and 5% Viking)...so if you don't like Dalmore, send it all to me!

My 2008 New Years resolution was to drink no whisky, ever again, under 12 yrs old. It was a good resolution.
100% Scottish on both my Pa & Mas' side, they were immigrants from just east of Glasgow.
( Which basically means I'm a Euro mutt with a bad attitude...;))

Screw on caps were invented in the 1850s.

Ale. And mead. From a horn. Straight. LOL. Also Maker's Mark (of course), Wild Turkey, and Gentleman Jack. And Rebel Yell, when I can find it. Elijah Craig used to be a standby, too. Mrs. Viking made me swear off most of it about ten years ago - she said it made me mean. She was right. I admittedly have a litany of things that piss me off, and a little bourbon just lights my fuse. I'm still allowed a nip or three during the holidays. Stick with wine or a nip of fruit brandy the rest of the year.

I have an Antient family recipe for mead. I’ve made it a few times — it’s lovely. I do not know how old the recipe is, but it was an old recipe when my great-grandmother recited it to me, verbally.
