defrogI get press releases.
Sometimes they’re about whiskey.
Evidently, it was a major operation:
BACKGROUND: In 2010, the three cases of whisky left behind by Shackleton were found in Antarctica two years ago. One of the cases was shipped to New Zealand and thawed at the Canterbury Museum, after which three bottles were shipped to the Whyte & Mackay distillery (which now owns the Mackinlay's brand) so they could use science to recreate the recipe (and the bottle, I think), then the bottles were shipped back to New Zealand.
And DHL wants you all to know that they got the bottles back to NZ safely.
The end.
Ice cold,
This is dF

"We spent weeks planning this operation, investigating various different travels options and routes to get it from Scotland to New Zealand. Having been buried in the Antarctic ice for more than 100 years, the whisky is extremely precious and delicate, which gave us the opportunity to show our expertise in shipping valuable and delicate cargo", said Alan Davis, Regional Director, Air Freight Scotland, DHL Global Forwarding.
