So what’s the latest on the Shackleton whisky?

Richard Paterson reports: I’ve been asked on Facebook and Twitter recently for some more details about the Shackleton replica whisky and the basic news is that it’s still going tremendously well – it’s selling as quickly as we can make it!

But if you’ve ever wanted to know what goes into nosing and making a whisky, do I have the technical document for you to read…

The Shackleton whisky has reached Australia and is expected to hit US shores in a couple of months – there was a very nice piece in the Huffington Post by Tony Sachs about it.

There’s also an incredibly detailed piece (PDF format I’m told) about the whisky and a detailed breakdown of what is in it at Sensory and Chemical Analysis of ‘Shackleton’s’ Mackinlay Scotch Whisky which should have enough detail for even the most ardent whisky fan!

Once again, my thanks to everyone across the globe who has shown interest in this exquisite dram over the last few years – and my thanks to everyone at Whyte & Mackay for helping make it the success that it has been.

Now if you’re looking for a bottle, this site (UK) or this site (most of the world)  might be able to help.
