Description
Mackinlay’s Shackleton Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is a tribute to the legendary polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who led an expedition to Antarctica at the beginning of the 20th century. This blended malt was inspired by the rare whisky bottles found in the perpetual ice during a 1907 expedition. The replica of this unique whisky combines the best Highland malts and offers a flavourful experience that combines history and tradition. With an alcohol content of 40 % vol. and a cask maturation that creates a harmonious balance between sweetness and flavour, this whisky is an exclusive choice for connoisseurs and lovers of high-quality Scotch whiskies.
Shackleton Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is characterised by a smooth but complex flavour structure. The masterful blending of various Highland malts gives it a pleasant depth with notes of honey, vanilla and dried fruit. The subtle smoky note provides an authentic Scottish character, while spicy nuances of cinnamon and nutmeg round off the flavour profile. This whisky is ideal for pure enjoyment, but can also be used as a base for exclusive whisky cocktails.
