Whisky found buried in ice under Shackleton’s hut
The whisky was made by McKinlay and Co, and drinks group Whyte & Mackay has asked for a sample to carry out tests with a view to re-launching the defunct brand.
Ice cracked some of the bottles that had been left there in 1909, but the restorers said they are confident the five crates contain intact bottles “given liquid can be heard when the crates are moved”.
