Once out of the cask, the aging process, for all intents and purposes, is over. A bottle should be saved, unopened to honor Shackleton, but I have no doubt that Mr. Shackleton would have no objections to us survivors in the 21st century raising a toast to the explorer in his memory with the remaining stock. The whisky, preserved as it was, should still be magnificent

Well normally, aging for whiskeys is done in barrels, rather than in bottles like wine. Only after the full age does the whiskey get transferred to bottles.
As well as analyzing it chemically, they’re going to have to taste some of it just to get the flavor right in the new duplicate.

Would have been a lot better if they’ed brought it from the distillery in oak barrels.
