“It’s better to imagine it than to taste it. That way it keeps its mystery” – Al Fastier, who has been charged with recovering Shackleton’s whisky

It’s lain untouched for a century, but now the whiskey left behind in the Antarctic ice by explorer Ernest Shackleton is to be recovered.  But Al Fastier, who is leading the expedition, has pledged not to sample the brew.  More details (Daily Telegraph)

(HT: BBC Quote of the Day)

I’d volunteer for the expedition, but not if I had to swear not to taste it.
