Product Information

Are these just masks we place on ourselves, providing a very thin and ever shrinking slice of anonymity in the online world? Or are they visual shortcuts to tell the world a little about ourselves? Granted in the case of my Gilbert headshot, it’s a far more handsome facade than I could ever dream to be. Teacher's Highland Cream and Cutty Sark at Charlie's Tavern, New York, N.Y., between 1946 and 1948.

Finish: More pepper, ginger and a little hit of the peat. Some slightly bitter tannins right at the death but a pleasant sweet syrup note remains for quite a while with it. The other lasting legislation from this period specified that Scotch whisky must be at least three years old. But that’s a story for another time. With Water: A few drops of water don’t help the aroma… if anything, it’s even more inert now. The water thins the body, and muddies the sweet notes. Water is optional here. I would skip it.

Water does not affect the finish. By 1923, one of those bottles being smuggled in was a newly-developed Berry Bros. & Rudd whisky, Cutty Sark. With this foot in the door via their “high quality” blended Scotch, they were already a well-established brand in the States by the end of Prohibition. Despite Glenfiddich’s future planning to dive straight into the new market, Cutty Sark was the first Scotch whisky to sell over a million cases in the US. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Despite prohibition in the US at the time, Cutty Sark whisky became popular, smuggled in as an alternative to moonshine.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Cutty Sark takes its name from a poem by Robert Burns called Tam O’Shanter. It refers to a short nightie worn by one of the main characters in the poem, a young, attractive witch called Nannie. 4. When was Cutty Sark built? This meant that when prohibition was repealed, Cutty Sark was already an established brand of whisky. The drink was the first scotch whisky to sell over a million cases in the US. The Cutty Sark taste is lighter and fresher than many other whiskies, which makes it perfect for mixing, allowing you to experiment with different mixers and flavours. This is also a versatile whisky, making it a great choice to have on-hand in your drinks cabinet ready for entertaining. If you enjoy Cutty Sark, you can also explore our full range of Scotch whisky, which includes Campbeltown, Highland, and Lowland whiskies. Prohibition Edition sounds like what it is: a transparent attempt to cast a pallor of history over an unabashedly modern product. It was first released in 2013 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the repeal of the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. The cynics among you will wonder why a Scottish whisky is celebrating an American historical event, or why the 80th year is more worthy of celebration than, say, the 75th. Or the 90th. I have no answer, except the tenuous link between the brand (named after the Cutty Sark, a British tea clipper) and the famous captain Bill McCoy (as in “The Real”) who smuggled illicit Cutty Sark whiskey into the States during the years of Prohibition. I guess.

The famous whisky is actually named after the Cutty Sark tea clipper, which was known for being the fastest of its day. Cutty Sark has survived heavy seas, war, neglect, obsolescence, fire and old age to be here in Greenwich. 7. How many people served on the Cutty Sark? On the palate we have thin honey, more peat and spices (cayenne, cumin). Oily mouthfeel (could Springbank be in this?) Butterscotch, with a hint of vanilla. Lemony, more so with water. Fantastic stuff.

During her time as a clipper, the ship made eight voyages from China to London. Cutty Sark the Whisky

There was plenty of drinking on board the original Cutty Sark as well. When the ship set sail for the first time in 1870 the captain’s log reported that there was ‘large amounts of wine, spirits and beer’ on board.

Surely this all seems quite obvious on a surface level and is no different to wearing a t-shirt with your favourite band. Or greater still is this closer to the passionate music gatekeeper who demands the person wearing the t-shirt lists of a couple of songs by the band. If this happens to anyone in an ever-trendy Metallica top, just give them ONE. So that is where this leads. Passion. While this should just be a review on a high proof blend, it begs the bigger question: Do we often hold a bottle in such high regard we start to lie to ourselves about it? To wrap this in a nice outro before I set sail on this review, remember: Always be passionate in your palate, stay true to your tastes and proud of whatever whisky floats your boat.Balance: A smooth, not unpleasant whisky. Not sure I would buy it because I would likely not choose it over the others in my cabinet. But definitely one of the better blends I’ve tried. 22 On the nose: salted caramel fudge matched with some light shiny grain notes. A hearty mix combined with the aroma of cardboard recycling out in the rain. A couple of drops of water seems to increase the ethanol notes, giving a pleasant pepper spice. Nose: Opens on malt and a dessert tray of buttercream, toffee, and vanilla wafers. Behind the tray is some salted white bread dough being kneaded on slate. Fruit is here too: green apple and orange rind. Water amplifies the malt and vanilla wafers. Cutty Sark survived storms which ripped its rudder off on two occasions, survived a dismasting in the First World War and a terrible fire in 2007. In the year before the fire, the majority of Cutty Sark’s original fabric had been removed. This meant that, while devastating, the fire was nowhere near as destructive as it could have been. Over 90% of the ship’s hull structure is original to 1869. 9. What was her name changed to?
