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.
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!
It is like having Barbancourt Rhum 8 years!! Really!! Just compare them two
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!
