I hope Antarctican visitors to Texarrakis secretly sampled this whiskey.
In the last week, someone from Antarctica paid Texarrakis a visit, and browsed through nearly 20 pages. I don't know why someone from Antarctica would spend what I assume would be their precious internet time on this page, of all places. Maybe researchers and scientists and whoever exists in Antarctica spend a similar amount of time on the internet. I do not know.
Recently though, I came across news that a 12 pack of century old whiskey was found wonderfully preserved underneath Shackelton's old Antarctic shack. In the case were 11 bottles, one half empty. It is now my hope that the very same Antarctic visitor to Texarrakis got a chance to sample this whiskey. If this is the case, and you are our Antarctican friend, please let me know.
It's extremely unlikely though, the crate was discovered in 2006. The only reason it is making a news splash now, is that it has been thawed out in the Canterbury Museum in ChurchChrist, New Zealand. Apparently the museum is shipping samples to the same distillery which succeeded the company that distilled this whiskey is receiving samples of it, in order to reverse engineer the old whiskey back into life. The museum has started a blog called "The Great Whisky Crate Thaw", full of exciting pictures and updates. It is oddly tantalizing. They haven't opened a bottle yet; they are hoping to remove the straw covering within the next few days!
I await this product's arrival!
