A little bit about Shackleton (and whiskey!)

Sucks that I'm not a leader at anything right now. Actually, I've never been one. Can't wait to be in a position where I can bring the power I learn in this course to use.

So, I like watching documentary films. One of these that I watched on history channel was surprisingly about Shackleton! It's about his expedition on the "Nimrod" in 1907, but is still quite a nice story.




It's about recreating this bottle of whiskey Shackleton's expedition left
behind when he needed to discard the unnecessary load


I dream of the day when I can drink this wonderful batch of "Mackinlay's rare highland malt" dubbed "The Enduring Spirit".


People say a picture is worth a thousand words. I wonder how many words a youtube video is worth...

    The Enduring Spirit costs about 160 US dollars. Not a price that is impossible to pay, but is still quite expensive. However if you think of it as 20(people)x8(dollars), maybe the day you achieve your dream is not that far away.
    By the way, you can watch the movie "The Endurance" online.→http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDE18B4D0D7ED0F39

    That's right about the price, plus shipping. I know because I bought a bottle. It was a gift, however, so I never got to try the whiskey.

    I have been to that hut, by the way. At the time no one knew there was all that whiskey underneath or we might have found ourselves doing a little illegal archeological digging.
