Chas. Mackinlay Rare Old Highland Malt

A vatted malt to recreate the whisky recovered from Ernest Shackleton's failed 1907 expedition to the South Pole. Nose is my well used naturally tanned leather gun belt plus something "earthy". Mouthfeel is medium. Palate is barely smoky, Bosc pear peels, and hints of rye-like spice. Finish is dry. It's decent enough but barely worth the asking price. However, I did buy into the hype and bought a second bottle as a keepsake.
