Cutty Sark's Prohibition Edition blended Scotch whisky is a higher strength expression, sitting at 50% ABV (their classic expression is bottled at 40% ABV). Created as a tip of the hat to famous Prohibition era rum-runner Captain William McCoy...
Nose: There's custard notes familiar from the 40% ABV expression, though now paired with more citrus, pear and fudge cubes you get in sea-side sweet shops.
Palate: Toffee chunks with a little bit of dark chocolate hidden inside. A touch of grassy malt and crushed nuts.
Finish: A final hint of caramel and golden malt.

I was very surprised with this blend. Was expecting it to be a bit rough around the edges, but no.Nice and smooth with very little afterburn, adding a few drops of water really opens up the Whisky.KevDoncaster

This is one of my favorite blends. The 50% ABV holds up to ice and gives one more flavor. And the flavor is complex of toffee, nuts, vanilla and malt. There is a pepper spice in the finish. In my opinion this is much better then the JW Red and Black - good price point too.

Picked up a bottle today and sipping it as an after dinner nip. A wee snifter. Rich, salty caramel, sweet rum. Its really tasty, not a challenge (in my opinion). Worth the money & I cant think of anything better for the money!

I really love this Scotch. And, for the price it is an incredible bargain. Smooth, peppery, a little vanilla, cocoa...an honest Scotch.

Robust, pleasantly smooth, and a very good fall tipple that’s quite affordable.

Let's see...since my last report I have consumed close to a dozen bottles of Cutty Sark's "Prohibition" blend. All I can say is the more I drink this, the more I like it. Crucial is the amount of water you mix and mix you must for maximum enjoyment. Once arrived at your water to whiskey comfort zone, the sensations derived from this blend are nothing short of opioid. Explore the pallet the Gods gave you.....trust me, you will love this!

I like this scotch mixed. A very nice Scotch/ Soda/Twist whisky as the 50% abv holds up to the ice and soda much better than any 40% I've tried. My usual neat drink is either Pinch 15 or Chivas 18. I wouldn't drink them mixed so I'm glad I found this at a store by accident while going to pick up a low dollar scotch for mixed drinks.

I am not rating it, because clearly it's very well made (and only cost me $16.49 on clearance). I am just surprised that I am not detecting any malt - neither neat nor with water. Definitely get the toffee and saltiness. Granted, I am a newbie of a few years, but I have over a dozen single malts, a few bourbons and ryes and have tried Irish and Canadian blends. This tastes to me like an Irish grain whiskey, nothing wrong with that, just describing. If told this was Scotch in a blind tasting I might have my doubts. I'll have to approach it as I would a bourbon - to avoid the "where's me malt" disappointment. To me even bottom shelf blends are more malty (Ballentine's Finest, McIvor, Grand Macnish, Highland Mist). I prefer single malts to all other spirits, but am no malt snob - I can enjoy bourbons, ryes, cognac/armagnac and lately getting into blends. I approach blended Scotch as a spirit distinct from single malts - not comparing to single malts, but still expecting a certain maltiness. Fully open minded to changing that perception, though :) I'd love to try a genuine single grain Scotch.

The best breakfast Scotch ;)

Subtle vanilla and toffee fragrance greet you at the rim with lovely rich flavours soon to follow that never cease to delight. Plenty of heat that may overwhelm. More delicate pallets may wish to temper with some cool water.

A bargain blend at this price, highly recommended.

Toffee, followed by creamy fudge and caramel (honest). A solid blend I'll come back to again I'm sure. If you're a rye fan I'll recommend it. Young and quite hot but smooth enough to satisfy.

I have tested recently and like it

Agreed. Best blend at this price.

Marvellous blend great taste

A great whisky. Runs rings around the JW colors. The blend is balanced with a high malt content and low grain. At 50% ABV it is a flavorful blend with lots of toffee, vanilla & pepper. There is a long finish. Well priced too.

blended scotch doesn't always give you the most versatility. i'd certainly never sit and sip a Chivas 12. But unlike the other Cutty expressions this is great sipped and still robust (100 proof) and cheap enough for use in cocktails. Makes a crackerjack whisky sour. Make this more available for bars Cutty, your other stuff is dire!
