SONG CHALLENGE! 2.0 - Fit 2

Well the new Song Challenge! is off to a grand start! If you haven't already, go and read the Song Challenge! 2.0 - Fit 1 thread and see what imaginative and clever songwriters we have here on Mudcat! (That thread also has a quick overview of the nature of the Song Challenge! (at the top) and an overview of the valuable prizes to be won (near the bottom).)

And now sharpen your index fingers, librettists, and return us a song or two or three about the following story:

100-year-old Scotch Pulled from Frozen Crate

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- A crate of Scotch whisky that was trapped in Antarctic ice for a century was finally opened Friday — but the heritage dram won't be tasted by whisky lovers because it's being preserved for its historical significance. The crate, recovered from the Antarctic hut of renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton after it was found there in 2006, has been thawed very slowly in recent weeks at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island.


That should wet your respective whistles!

Okay, Challengees, let's see what you've got!
