IIRC, some cases of whiskey were discovered in Antarctica from the Shackleton expedition. That stuff would be about 40 or 50 years older then.

Ya, but it stops aging when in glass. Unique for sure but nothing like setting in a barrel for 50 years.

Were they bottled? This stuff was aged in the barrel and just recently bottled.

True its older, however it doesn’t age in the bottle!
I wouldn’t pay for it but I bet its exceptional!

If they were bottled, then that doesn’t count. It has to age in the cask. It’s the wood that mellows it.

big difference if its bottled or still in the cask.

I know they’re planning to hold onto many of the bottles for ‘historical purposes’, that is, put on exhibit.
However, they did say they were going to sell off/auction a few bottles of the Shackleton whiskey. When or where, I don’t know.
