A wee dram to dream about
Two American oak barrels containing 21 and 25-year-old Scotch whisky, which have been travelling around the world on Hurtigruten’s expedition ship MS Fram, will be taking centre stage on a themed voyage in October this year.
The barrels have spent almost a year crossing the world’s oceans from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle.
On a voyage from Bergen to Hamburg from October 2-4, lecturer and whisky expert Bernard McGee will lead a whisky themed cruise to celebrate the bottling of the Scottish tipple.
Before the contents are drawn from the two barrels into a total of 400 bottles, the whisky will travel along the southern and eastern coast of Greenland, past the remote island of Jan Mayen and around the Arctic island of Spitsbergen.
The single malt will then be bottled at 80 degrees north.
The unique whisky will only be available for purchase on board the MS Fram and for tastings in the ship’s bar – while stocks last.
