Cold?
I’ve already spoken a little about what Sir Ernest Shackleton’s whisky at the south pole would have tasted like – and hopefully soon we’ll be able to find out what it does taste like (though tasting is the very last thing you would do – most of the information would come from nosing it, so we may not even actually taste it) but the BBC has a nice article on What would Shackleton’s whisky taste like? (Quite happy to give them the link, though the BBC – and others I notice – have been a bit shy in putting forward links to here. No love for Whyte & Mackay or the master blender?)
The article also answers a few questions some people have had about how the whisky could have survived, how the temperature may have changed it and so on, so it’s worth a read.
