Inspired by adventure and born from a legacy of endurance, Shackleton Blended Malt pays tribute to Sir Ernest Shackleton’s legendary Antarctic expedition. In 1907, he brought Scotch whisky with him to the ends of the Earth. Over a century later, that very whisky was recovered from the ice and reimagined for modern explorers. This isn’t just a dram, it’s a toast to resilience and discovery.

Customer Reviews

The original whisky bottles discovered beneath Shackleton’s hut in Antarctica were preserved in perfect condition by the ice, giving modern blenders an exact profile to recreate over a century later.

Serving Suggestions
Serve neat or over a single ice cube to bring out the sweet and smoky balance. Add a splash of water if you want to tease out more orchard fruit and malt richness.

Distillery Background
While not tied to a single distillery, Shackleton is the work of Whyte & Mackay’s legendary blending team. It’s a celebration of Scotland’s rich whisky regions, unified in honor of one of history’s greatest survival stories, a blend that captures both tradition and adventure.
