Shackleton
The Journey

The second edition in the Shackleton project from Whyte & Mackay, The Journey is a rare and unique blended malt Scotch. Following the discovery of 3 cases of Mackinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky left under the ice in Antarctica by Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole some 100 years earlier, Master Blender Richard Paterson spent weeks in the laboratory nosing, tasting and deconstructing the whisky. This recreation comprises a wide selection of highland malts, including very old Glen Mhor which was the Mackinlay distillery before its closure in 1983.

Bottled at a strength of 47.3% abv, this blended malt has a light honey colour with shimmering straw highlights. The nose is elegant with delicate notes of crushed apple, pear and pineapple, with oak shavings, smoke and hints of buttery vanilla, caramel and nutmeg. The palate has a tantalising array of flavours, revealing a spirit with plenty of impact.
