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.
