The Explorers Club, which is based in Manhattan and whose members include Sir Ernest Shackleton and Buzz Aldrin, filed a lawsuit against Diageo’s Johnnie Walker on Friday for allegedly stealing its trademark for its Explorers’ Club whisky range, according to a report by The New York Post.

The drinks giant launched the range, available exclusively at duty-free shops, in 2012 and was sent a cease-and-desist letter by the 110-year-old Explorers Club last Spring, which owns the trademark on “The Explorers Club” name.
