FAQs
What is the Shackleton story?
Named for Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 1907 Nimrod Expedition — cases of whisky buried beneath the Antarctic ice were rediscovered in 2010 and used to recreate the original recipe, inspiring the Shackleton Blended Malt expression.
What is a blended malt Scotch?
A blend of single malt whiskies from multiple distilleries — offering greater complexity and approachability than a single malt while maintaining the all-malt character that sets it apart from standard blended Scotch.
How should I drink it?
Neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water — the approachable, fruit-forward profile makes Shackleton an ideal everyday Scotch and a great introduction to blended malt whisky.
