Shackleton Blended Malt Whisky conceived and created by the famous master blender of The Dalmore distillery Richard Paterson, pays homage to the legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton who in 1907 brought 25 cases of Mackinlays Rare Old Highland Malt on his expedition to Antarctica. In 2007, 11 perfectly preserved bottles were found engulfed by ice around his base camp.

Today Richard Paterson wants to recreate the historic malt with this exceptional blend. Shackleton whisky is a blend of the best single malts of the Highlands, which perfectly combines the accessibility of a blended with the complexity of a single malt. Notes of vanilla, toffee, apple, cinnamon and ginger dominate the nose. On the palate demerara sugar, dried fruit with caramelized pineapple and mango. The warm finish, with notes of praline and a light smoky note.
