Blended
Cutty Sark
Scotland
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...
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.
Toffee chunks with a little bit of dark chocolate hidden inside. A touch of grassy malt and crushed nuts.
A final hint of caramel and golden malt.

A most interesting spirit indeed, but in a very good way. The comparable rum-like qualities are clearly there - sweet butterscotch/toffee, vanilla - and a slight sharpness, a mild but pleasant burn (100-proof/50% ABV), is very much like a whisky, as is the body of this drink. The finish/aftertaste is a battle of rum vs. whisky notes, and quite good. Surprisingly high-quality & value at an economically-friendly price. A sound, solid choice, probably one of the best blended scotch-whiskys one will ever try.
I am on my third bottle of this and I have already bought the fourth.
Nose: Coconut, vanilla Palate: Creamy, Oily, sweet Finish: Slightly peppery (not astringent or harsh), mouth-watering I sincerely hope they don’t stop making this, I don’t have an alternative that’s this good at this price point (or even a little higher.)
For £23 is well worth it I come back to it 3 or 4 times already still like it a lot
This is my 2nd bottle and I still think for the price and strength, it is outstanding value. Oh and it tastes great. Kev Doncaster
