Scotch Whiskey tastes very VERY bad no matter how old or expensive it is. Blasphemy!

Finally, minus the milliliters of whisky that had been carefully syringed out through their corks, the original bottles were returned from Scotland to the Shackleton expedition's hut... Road trip! I mean, boat and dog-sled trip!

That’s my feeling too.
Never could get a taste for it.

It was on an island off the coast; having the ocean there probably moderated the temperatures somewhat.

There is some mighty fine single malts out there for that $130.00.

A favorite of my Dad and me. Never tire of reading it again. I don’t want to shovel the driveway without fleece and Goretex. They did what they did wearing threadbare wool and wornout skins while eating penguins and seal blubber and they all came home.

Finally, minus the milliliters of whisky that had been carefully syringed out through their corks, the original bottles were returned from Scotland to the Shackleton expedition's hut, where they have been re-situated as part of the preserved environ by the Antarctic Heritage Trust.What a waste. I'm an historical preservationist, but this is ridiculous. Good thing I don't drink anymore, or I'd be organizing a salvage expedition.
Or does the Antarctic Heritage Trust maintain an armed guard? Now that would be a great job for a misanthrope....
