Ernest Shackleton’s whisky aged, well chilled in Antarctica

A bid will be made to drill through Antarctica’s ice to reach a lost cache of Scotch whisky that has been on rocks for a century – since it was delivered to polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.

Drillers will try to reach two crates of Mackinlay and Co. whisky that were shipped to the Antarctic by Shackleton as part of his unsuccessful 1907-1909 expedition.

Would a successful expedition have had more or less whisky?
