To find the actual whisky favoured by this ultimate man's man is one thing, to taste the essence of death-defying, pipe-smoking, god-among-men masculinity will be quite anotherPuhleeze.

The brandy will possibly be good, but the whiskey is likely garbage IMO.
I confess that I am not a big whiskey fan.....LOL

Shackleton was an amazing man, but from what I have read he did not really give credit to Providence who saved him and his crew.
And how utterly ridiculous that he survived the harrowing journey and rescue, only to return to sea!! Dude, when you narrowly escape death, does it make sense to return to the same circumstances?? He died of a heart attack on his second journey aboard ship.
Idiot.
