Re: two cases of Scotch whisky left behind 100 years ago by Sir Ernest Shackleton... & An international treaty dictates that the crates, and any intact bottles that are inside, remain in Antarctica unless they need to be taken off the continent for conservation reasons...

Gad... zooks!

Free... the Shackleton Two!

After all, we really need... a worthy cause to rally behind, don't we?

A whisky’s flavor develops as it’s aged in barrels because air is able to reach it. Once it’s bottled and cut off from external oxygen, it stops changing in taste. If oxygen was sneaking back into the bottles, the whisky would have continued aging and could have started to go bad, much like food that’s left out too long.

Party pooper!!!
