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.

Bought this based on a review that ranked it ahead of Monkey Shoulder and Naked Grouse. I won't trust that reviewer again as it is nowhere near better than either. Sharp, young, metallic. I'd rather buy Teachers Highland Cream.
Best blend ever tasted. Superb.
I was surprised at the quality of this for the price. I don't do the in depth reviews of a lot of people as I don't have the nose for it. I usually stick to speyside malts but if times are hard and you want a good dram on a budget, you could do a lot worse.
Sceptical given the price, but the reviews are justified it’s smooth and sweet with a hint of smoke. Barely through this bottle and I’m up for ordering 5 more
What a great sipper just bought 10 bottles, well you never know what could happen, add nothing to it put it in a glencairn and take your time you will not be disappointed 50% abv bargain at £23.13
