1. What if…. Shackleton was a souce and drank it all? Verrrry clever.

2. …and replaced the whiskey with water to try and hide the evidence!!!!

3. Philistines! Whiskey and whisky must never be cooled!

4. Is McKinlay and Co.listed on the TSX?

5. since he was Irish. I doubt there be anything but empties.

6. This reminds me of that expedition to Greenland that recovered that P38 Lockheed lost in 1942 or 1943 on the ice-cap…..it was finally located under circa 250′ of ice…..
   But, but, but….. Gore and Hansen have told us that Greenland is melting….

7. The “Nimrod Expedition!” LOL. And cal2, not ALL Irish people drink, that is a stereotype! Come to think of it, perhaps it is well deserved…..hahahahaha.

8. That clever Shakleton, burying the whisky so far under the ice! Just make sure there are no Irishmen on the drilling rig, or the drill will become one big, giant straw ; ) “Shlorry, bossh — nuthin’ found, hic.”

9. Come on people,they found the stash over two years ago.Be careful of what you read on the internet!

10. Tight little continent

11. Scotch doesn’t age in the bottle.
    Apparently, in Shackleton’s day, they preferred a peaty after-taste in scotch that might be resurgent if these bottles become the toast of the town.

12. gives ‘on the rocks’ a whole new meaning.

13. I wonder how much a bottle that’ll go for. $10,000 / bottle? More?
    And then you don’t dare drink it. What a waste.

14. Kind of like the waiter who dropped a bottle of $10,000 wine while serving a couple in the Calgary Chicago Chop House.
    Wonder how many patrons would have dropped to their knees and grabbed a straw!

15. Cmon now, would you not have a nip if you found it?. May be aged but they all taste the same after a couple of stiff shots. 100 yr old whiskey = fresh batch of good old moonshine.

16. Ha, I love stories like this. A smile on my face to start the day!

17. Was at work today when I read this….. Nimrod expdn and Cape Royd……good thing my cubicle has high walls!

18. Could I get a little extra ice with that please?

19. I would take a sip of the stuff just do to the story behind it, but it still would excite my gag reflex.
    I would much prefer a crate of wine or a 6 pack being drilled out.

20. What a Scotsman will do for a dram of Whiskey!!!!

21. May be aged but they all taste the same after a couple of stiff shots. 100 yr old whiskey = fresh batch of good old moonshine.

    Scotch doesn’t age in the bottle.
    If it was 12 yr old scotch when it was bottled it’s still the same 12 yr old scotch 400 years latter.

22. Kate give your head shake.
