Ache in the wondering-want heart.



In 1909, Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, of Endurance fame, left two cases of Scotch under the floor boards of one of his base camp shacks.

In 2006 these cases were discovered, frozen solid into the the ice and snow.

Currently, the company who originally crafted the Scotch is trying to get rights to retrieve several of the bottles, take samples, and recreate the Scotch that never got to keep Shackleton and his men in good (if not ill placed) cheer. How wonderful is this?
