Mackinlay's Shackleton Blended Malt
Mackinlay's
Tasting Notes
This blended malt whisky is a remarkable tribute to the legendary Sir Ernest Shackleton's expeditions to Antarctica in the early 20th century. Inspired by the whisky that was left behind and remarkably preserved for over a century, it captures the essence of Shackleton's favorite dram. The nose is inviting, with notes of golden cereals and caramelized brown sugar, subtly spiced with a hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it bursts with juicy apple and orange flavors, balanced by a rich and velvety honey sweetness. The finish lingers delightfully, offering delectable notes of butterscotch and a waxy orange character. Crafted by Master Blender Richard Patterson, this whisky pays homage to the spirit of adventure and perseverance, making it a truly unique and accessible offering for whisky enthusiasts.
