A very popular blend, particularly on the American market, started by Berry Bros & Rudd and named for the tea clipper Cutty Sark, said to be the fastest of its time.
Light, gentle. Cut herbs, floral, custard, hay.
Rounded, mixed peels, lots of barley.
Good length, warming, malt.
Was: £22.50Now: £21.63
I love all kinds of single malts but have tried some blends to compare. Cutty Sark is one that has more character and smoothness. This will be a regular for me now. Love it.
Pure as water, A light lemony delicious quaff with a biscuity edge and a Speyside nose. Minimum smoke. Pure and slightly sweet. It is an oatmealier version of its mother malt, the Glenrothes 15 year old. With vanilla sherbet or a taste of Wimbledon on a summer eve. Yum. Good, too, on a late autumn afternoon before or after Sunday roast. And lounging after before the tv.

'not on my list of reasonably priced Scotch whiskeys
I just opened the bottle. Sometimes scotch gets better when it's been open a while. Smells like tequila and maybe a little like nail polish remover. I don't know what nail polish remover tastes like, but this scotch does taste a little like tequila. Other than that it doesn't taste bad. Nicely sweet. A little bitter on the finish. I bought it to use as a mixer anyway. I just expected a little more for 19.99 per bottle.
