Product Information

Endurance departed from South Georgia for the Weddell Sea on 5 December, heading for Vahsel Bay. As the ship moved southward navigating in ice, first-year ice was encountered, which slowed progress. Deep in the Weddell Sea, conditions gradually grew worse until, on 19 January 1915, Endurance became frozen fast in an ice floe. [88]

Its body-sensation in mouth, when tasted “neat”, to some extent resembles some Inchgower-bottlings, as it does hold a slight oiliness when “neat”. Also this, is something I do find being to this specific bottlings advantage, compared to other bottlings. The sweetness, fragrance and spice, and the subtle smoke, are all there in the replica. I’m blown away.” I’m just curious to see the state that it’s in now. Although broken up, we think it’s in good condition. But we won’t really know until we get there and see it. Wilson, Edward A.

A very limited edition already sold out, this rare, fine whiskey is sought after by collectors. It will do any whiskey lover’s display cabinet proud but it also may be a sound little financial investment that could return good profits over time. There was a (male) cat named Mrs Chippy that belonged to the carpenter Harry McNish. Mrs Chippy was shot when the Endurance sank, due to the belief that he would not have survived the ordeal that followed. [86] [87] Loss of Endurance Debelle, Penelope (11 February 2013).

Digestive biscuits. Some grapefruit acidity; and that barley-driven note mingles with light peat; and then gives way to vanilla and pears, and creamy buttermilk. Layers of honey follow, with gentle spices and a nice herbal note. The peat drifts about wonderfully – not dominating, just underscoring that malty core. Conclusions

The Cape Royds hut sits in an Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) which means permits are required to remove anything from the area and anything temporarily removed has to be returned. Third man factor, refers to the reported situations where an unseen presence such as a "spirit" provided comfort or support during traumatic experiences. Taste…Warming and smooth, a touch of pepper and a wee hint of dark chocolate, there is still a little delightful smoke, such an elegant dram it should be in an ermine gown. There are only 50,000 bottles available to buy and you should be able to get one at your specialist Whisky shop or using the window below: The polar regions are very expensive places to get to, so if you’re spending all that money you might as well go big. On this expedition there’s a huge range of experts, all doing their own bits of research. We’ve got biologists and glaciologists and geologists and meteorologists, and almost all the other ‘-ologists’, out there together, in a place that’s incredibly hard to access, working on things that could make a huge difference to their fields of research. We’re hoping that what comes out of Weddell is an array of extraordinary findings in all sorts of scientific realms. And that’s even before they go looking for Endurance…

The whisky proved so popular that in late 2012, a second edition, ‘The Journey’, was released. Both editions have resulted in a substantial donation to the Trust’s conservation work in Antarctica.

Very very light. Baked pastry. Vanilla. It’s exceptionally light. Glenmorangie light. Summer drink. Only 40% though so no ice needed. There’s no fruit. It isn’t overly complex but has a nice dry Sherry finish. In January 2010 workers from the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust successfully extracted the cases from the ice and now one of them is being slowly thawed to see if the whisky can be saved.

We all turned out to give three cheers and to take a last look at the place where we had spent so many happy days. The hut was not exactly a palatial residence … but, on the other hand, it had been our home for a year that would always live in our memories…. We watched the little hut fade away in the distance with feelings almost of sadness, and there were few men aboard who did not cherish a hope that some day they would once more live strenuous days under the shadow of mighty Erebus.” I really wouldn’t like to say! It entirely depends on the conditions, which as we’ve said, are very changeable. But my fingers are certainly crossed for them getting there! With the accessibility of a blend and the craft credentials of a malt, this unique, storied brand is set to bring modern spirits drinkers into scotch as well as providing a new, premium alternative for the blended whisky occasion for those existing Scotch whisky fans.”
