Interesting fact… Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Light, gentle. Cut herbs, floral, custard, hay.
Palate: Rounded, mixed peels, lots of barley.
Finish: Good length, warming, malt.
A very pale whisky which is smoother than most other brands in the same price range, such as Grouse, Walker etc, the "Sark" is far superior to to other domestic brands, it's a great shame that it is not readily available on the high street as it once was, shippers tend to price delivery for the one off bottle far too high!
Cutty sark is one of those blends that have stood the test of time and trends, a bit like ballantine's finest and teacher's (much more more in common tastewise with ballantine's though than teacher's which is a very meaty kind of blend)and probably will continue to stick around...Deservedly so. Sometimes you just can't beat something pretty ubiquitous,"Granddaddyish" and reasonably straightforward.
