"Richard Peterson, a master blender for Whyte & Mackay, which supplied the Shackleton expedition with 25 crates of Mackinlays Rare and Old whisky, described the unearthing of the bottles as a gift from the heavens for whisky lovers, since the recipe for that blend has been lost. If the contents can be confirmed, safely extracted and analyzed, the original blend may be able to be replicated.
