1907 Mackinlay’s Shackleton Replica – Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky

Ahhh Mackinlay’s. The whisky most famous for being the whisky of choice for Sir Ernest Shackleton to accompany his 1907 expedition to the South Pole. 25 cases of Mackinlay’s Rare Old Highland Malt were made to order at a specific 47.3% abv strong enough to withstand freezing temperatures.

Skip forward to 2007. Several bottles of the ORIGINAL Mackinlay’s Rare Old Highland Malt were found at Shackleton’s Antarctic base camp, and analysis found the whisky had been matured in American oak Sherry casks, and produced using Orkney peat in the malting process.

This limited edition replica of this special whisky also contains malts from Glen Mhor & Dalmore.
