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 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.
AWSOME!!!! THAT'S IT! JUST AWSOME!!! LOOK OUT GLENLEVIT!!!!!
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!
