"Shackleton's expedition ran short of supplies on its long ski trek to the South Pole...Nonsense. As any good Scotsman knows, you're not desperate until the Scotch runs out.

reading further, i bet money white & mackay won’t make an accurate replica blend; i suspect whisky a century ago was substantially peatier than most non-islay whiskies are now.
To: bruinbirdman
LOL - I think it must be! Although there must be some east and west involved, somehow, once you get a bit away from the Pole.

Why would they not taste it??!! I think there are plenty here who would gladly line up for a chance at a snort of THAT Scotch...
To: EggsAckley
If it did freeze it would expand about 10%.
This would crack the bottle/ blow the cork.

The arctic, after all, has a southern coast. No it doesn't. It's not a land mass.

Not to be a jerk, but when you are talking about Scotch, it is spelled whisky. In Scotland and Canada, it is whisky. In Ireland and Kentucky, it is whiskey. If you want to know why, well, you will have to stop by and I will pour you a glass of bourbon, and go over the whole story.

Still, it has a southern EDGE if you wish to be picky about it, so my statement is true and you are a nit picker:)

They are looking to conserve the scotch whisky. Heh.
I conserved my liquour cabinet for several years as well. Then I unconserved it which was much more enjoyable.

God that must have tasted horrible. Back in those days they sealed the amphoras with pitch and it likely gave the wine a strong sulfuric smell and taste. I wouldn’t be surprised however if it was still wine though seeing as the bacteria needed to convert the wine into vinegar would have a harder time surviving at those depths.

The arctic most certainly has land. All the arctic is is a region north of the arctic circle. Parts of Alaska, Greenland,Canada,Russia,Iceland, Norway,Sweden and Finalnd lie with in the Arctic circle, so technically you could have a southern coast for the arctic.
