For those coming late to the news about the whisky being recovered from the Shackleton hut in the South Pole (press release and pics, press release as pdf, some video of me, my blog on the excavation, a blog post on what the whisky may taste like, a second post on some questions) here’s some new video straight from the shed – great to actually see it (and to see a longer version of this video head over to this alternative link).

For use by all media:
20 second video of Richard Paterson on the whisky:
Longer video available at this link as part of Podcast 14
Full text of press release below:
You may have read the original blog post that sparked global interest or listened to the podcasts about two crates of whisky at the South Pole. Well, it’s been a long and difficult task for the dedicated team from the Antartic Heritage Trust, but they’ve managed to remove the crates from the ice.
But there was a surprise waiting for them. The whisky wasn’t alone…

I announced the Jura and Whyte and Mackay eBay auctions for Haiti we are doing with Oxfam yesterday, but I’m just off the phone with Jura Master Distiller Willie Tait and he’s told me that whoever wins the stay on Jura will also get a personal distilling Master Class on Jura, complete with tastings. I think he’s also mentioned it on the Diurachs site.
So now you can win a night with Willie (and a lodge for eight for a week) and a night with me.
We’re also using out other social media channels, like Jura Picture of the Day to highlight what’s happening in Haiti, so feel free to spread the links around.

Everyone has been touched by what’s happened in Haiti and here at Whyte & Mackay we’d like to do our bit to try and help. To that end, we’ve teamed up with Oxfam to offer a couple of auctions that you can access via ebay.
The first is for a full week’s stay on the Jura Lodge on the isle of Jura, where up to eight people can stay for a week, enjoying the scenery and sounds of the beautiful island. They will also receive gift bottles of whisky and a tour of the distillery, learning more about the various Jura expressions including Superstition and Prophecy.
On top of the stay, Whyte & Mackay whisky will provide the transport (or the costs of) for the eight people to get to Jura.
Click this link for the auction for the Jura Lodge.
The second is for a chance to win me – not for keeping – but for me to come to an event you are putting on – or your home – and put on a whisky presentation, letting you try various expressions, learn more about whisky and generally have a good time. Again, there will be no cost to you. Whyte & Mackay will pick up all the travel and associated costs for me. Your only cost is the auction.
Click this link for the auction for the master blender tasting session.
Both of these are available to anyone who stays in the UK. That doesn’t stop people from outwith the UK bidding, it just means that in the case of the Jura auction, you have to get to the UK before we transport you to Jura and in the second auction that you have to have a UK venue or location we can meet at.
Let’s hope we can raise a lot of funds here for something which has devastated a lot of lives. As you would expect we’ll be using our social media connections – my twitter feed, Jura’s twitter feed, the Whyte & Mackay twitter feed, the Jura Pictures page, The Diurachs Facebook page and other sites – to promote this.
The auctions will be running for 10 days. Please spread details of these far and wide so we can raise as much as possible.
