Scott(ch) of the Antarctic



File:Scott's party at the South Pole.jpg
We are all by now familiar with the story of Shackleton's whisky, but apparently his hapless contemporary, Robert Falcon Scott, is also associated with The Beverage:

The Cabinet has over time developed a curious affinity for polar exploration, so it is unfortunate that we are unlikely to be able to obtain a bottle of this specially labeled edition of the Tullibardine. We can, however, obtain an ordinary bottle of Tullibardine and toast Scott's memory at the upcoming 100th anniversary of his infamous demise (while imagining the special label...).
