Preserved in ice for 100 years, the whisky Shackleton used to keep out the cold.

They say whisky matures with age...but leaving it embedded in the Antarctic ice for almost 100 years may be going a bit far.

what the heck!?

That’s a screw on cap!

[SonOfDarkSkies]

I volunteer to check it out.

My favorite scotch is Dalmore 12 year.

And I'm 95% Scottish (and 5% Viking)...so if you don't like Dalmore, send it all to me!

[GSP.FAN]

Not my thing... Whisky straight... Hmmmmm

[Viking2002]

*BLECH* Scotch.

My 2008 New Years resolution was to drink no whisky, ever again, under 12 yrs old. It was a good resolution.
100% Scottish on both my Pa & Mas' side, they were immigrants from just east of Glasgow.
( Which basically means I'm a Euro mutt with a bad attitude...;))

[GSP.FAN]

So what do you vikings drink?

[Kirkwood]

Screw on caps were invented in the 1850s.

Did someone say uisce beatha, a hundred years old? Now that’s a mighty large cask or a waste of time!

[Viking2002]

Ale. And mead. From a horn. Straight. LOL. Also Maker's Mark (of course), Wild Turkey, and Gentleman Jack. And Rebel Yell, when I can find it. Elijah Craig used to be a standby, too. Mrs. Viking made me swear off most of it about ten years ago - she said it made me mean. She was right. I admittedly have a litany of things that piss me off, and a little bourbon just lights my fuse. I'm still allowed a nip or three during the holidays. Stick with wine or a nip of fruit brandy the rest of the year.

[DieHard the Hunter]

I have an Antient family recipe for mead. I’ve made it a few times — it’s lovely. I do not know how old the recipe is, but it was an old recipe when my great-grandmother recited it to me, verbally.

[GSP.FAN]

25% proof?
WTF a fag whisky

[AppyPappy]

I swore off Scotch for the same reason. The only time I touch liquor is camping trips and when I have a cold.

[Candor7]

Thats right! Unless you quaff mead instead of sipping it like whiskey!Mead is a quaffing drink, usually out of a horn. Hangovers are a rehearsal for Ragnarock.

I prefer Western Isles whiskey.

[Viking2002]

My father swore that apricot brandy was the best for a cold, and I tend to agree. I've never been a fan of cordials, but apricot and peach brandy both seem to go down smooth.

[vetvetdoug]

I live in Alcorn County, Mississippi. Any whiskey over a couple of months old is suspect. Hours old corn whiskey is a treat.

[Kenny Bunk]

Try Irish. It’s smoother and you won’t smell so bad the next day.

[stevio]

When liberals are a cussin’ me out and ask; “What kind of man are you?”. I tell them “I’m a whiskey man!”.

[AppyPappy]

I mix it with lemons and sugar. Rock and Rye works best. All you need is the lemons.

[castlebrew]

And Buffalo Trace Bourbon in a nice (homegrown fresh) Mint Julep on a hot summer day, under a shady tree is just the ticket. May have to develop a winter julep recipe...

[mamelukesabre]

whiskey bottles were corks only until after the prohibition. In america at least.

[I Buried My Guns]

Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, mixed with an equal amount of Red flavor Powerade, over ice.

Truly the breakfast of champions.

Scotch ping.

Vile barbarian... ;)

[Constitution Day]

But surely one of the conservation team has been tempted to open a bottle?
"No," said Fastier. "It's better to imagine it than to taste it. That way it keeps its mystery."

What a weenie. I wonder if he was born without balls, or had them snipped off later in life?

I would have at least had one taste of that old Scotch!
