Drilling For Scotch in Antarctica 6
100 years ago, British polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton had to abandon his 1909 Antarctic expedition. Among the items left behind were two crates of McKinlay and Co. whiskey, now the company has decided it would like them back. A team from New Zealand's Antarctic Heritage Trust will try to drill down to the crates, frozen in Antarctic ice under the Nimrod Expedition hut near Cape Royds. Sounds like this would go great with some Titanic cigars.

More like "You broke five bottles when you drilled right through one of the crates? Ah, alright."

If they can avoid breaking the bottles (Score:2)
They should be pretty well preserved. Provided the ice hasn't crushed the bottles and they don't drill through them.
It's a great promotion if nothing else.

When you buy 15 or 18 or whatever year old scotch at the liquor store, that's how long it was in the cask, NOT how long it was in the cask + how long it's been on the shelf.
