FILE - In this Feb. 5, 2010 file photo released by Antarctic Heritage Trust on Feb. 8, 2010, one of crates of Scotch whisky and brandy is pictured after they have been recovered by a team restoring an Antarctic hut used more than 100 years ago by famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton. One of the crates of the Scotch whisky that was trapped in Antarctic ice for a century was finally opened Friday, Aug. 13, 2010 but the heritage dram won't be tasted by whisky lovers because it's being preserved for its historic significance.

It would be just as historically significant after I've had a taste!

WTF, its meant to be drank. Screw history. What a travesty.
The bottles are historic, the whisky i not. Should be drunk.
I would certainly partake for the historic significance, but I doubt it would be all that great. It's in a crate, which I'm assuming means in bottles in a crate. Whisky only ages in barrels. Once it's in the bottle, it can never get any better. Additionally, since it was carried along on the expedition it was probably the cheap stuff since they bought in bulk.
It will be a very small club for those who get to partake. I'd love to be in that number.

You can sign me up for the shortlist although as brudder Chako said, my expectations would be set on medium at best. I'd gladly be pleasently surprised however!
Perhaps we could sell the Ferrari, all my golf clubs and all of your fishing gear, to try an get enough for 5% of the auction price?
:)
It can stay where it is. Now if it was bourbon or rye ...
