Books, Manuscripts
Following the story of the malt whisky taken south on Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod expedition, this book celebrates the extraordinary achievements of men exploring an extraordinary place. With the recovery 100 years later of three cases of Scotch from icy entombment under the hut at Cape Royds, the relationship of whisky and Antarctic exploration came sharply into focus, making a unique odyssey to the end of the Earth and back.
