I wasn't aware of this as a PA Distillery so googled the history. Interesting if you care to read and like a little history mixed with your spirits: [URL="https://michters.com/legacy/"]Legacy[/URL]

It was because of the story behind it that we chose Shackleton for a dog's name. To bolster team spirit on his Antarctic expedition (Nimrod, 1907), Sir Ernest Shackleton personally ordered 25 cases of Mackinlay’s Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky. In 2007, a century after the expedition, three cases of the perfectly preserved whisky were discovered, frozen into the ice beneath Shackleton’s base camp at Cape Royds.
The whisky was excavated and flown to New Zealand where it was carefully thawed by the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust in a purpose-built environment and public gallery at Canterbury Museum. Whytte & Mackay Distillery decided to try to recreate that Mackinlay's Scotch with a blend of Highland Scotches, resulting in Shackleton. You can read about it and the excursion to find the ship and Scotch here: [URL="https://www.theshackletonwhisky.com/the-legend/"]The Legend[/URL]
