I tried Cutty sark couple of weeks back. I found this bottle from the wine shop and it looked kind of interesting to me. Me and my brother tried it together and I must say the experience was nothing less than splendid. The scotch builds up slowly and feels great when it actually kicks in. The taste is one of the good ones that I have experienced and the length is commendable. It's one of the good ones I have tried if not the best. A complete value for money product.
If one is seeking an experience with a complex, top notch malt, this isn't it. This is just a very tasty, pleasant generic blended Scotch Whisky, not any particular regional type, blended to be as it states on the bottle "easy drinking". Cutty doesn't pretend to be anything else. Cutty is marvelous on the rocks, refreshing and satisfying. This is a great social drink perfect for sipping as one moves about and flits in and out of conversations at a party. Cutty makes a fine Rob Roy or mix with ginger ale for a tasty Scotch twist on the Highball.
Got me going real good there bud
Hits on the very first 60 ml peg. Nice, smooth. But very much over priced as compared to others of the same taste and character.
I don't know whom this whisky is aimed at, but it can't be people who really like whisky. It is just too watery and lacking in flavour.
