Three bottles of 100 aged whiskey will come back to Antarctica where they were found. The whiskey was a property of a British traveler expedition Ernest Sheklton who intended to conquer the South Pole more than 100 years ago. Produced in 1898 the whiskey was left by the members of the expedition in a house at an Antarctica base at the Cape Royds while they were leaving it in hurry in March, 1909. The reason the hurry was the risk of freeze of the shore water with the winter ices. In 2010 only five cases of whiskey and brandy were found by researchers. The discovery was sent to the company Whyte and Mackay, a supplier of Sheklton of the period to find out lost recipe of the drink. A limited edition of restored recipe whiskey was made by the whiskey-makers. The sample for the research was taken by an injection of the cork of the bottle, so the cover says hermetic. In terms of the program of protection of Antarctica expeditions 1898 - 1915 authenticity three bottles of the ancient drink will be returned to the house of the traveler. Premier-minister of New Zealand John Kay in person gave the discovery to the fund of Antarctica heritage of New Zealand, members of which had been in the group of researchers found the bottles. «I guess everyone among us would be happy to open it and try», — Mr. Kay joked at the ceremony.
