There was plenty of drinking on board the original Cutty Sark as well. When the ship set sail for the first time in 1870 the captain’s log reported that there was ‘large amounts of wine, spirits and beer’ on board. So let's start with the nose. The nose reminded me of Glengoyne 10 to which you would add a hint of Clynelish 14 and grain. Then you have some vanilla, crystallized sugar and a whiff of smoke. With air vanilla and sugar increase and smoke decrease but you get some wood and spices. The partners of London's Berry Bros. & Rudd decide to create a lighter blended whisky for the US market, Cutty Sark Cutty Sark has survived heavy seas, war, neglect, obsolescence, fire and old age to be here in Greenwich. 7. How many people served on the Cutty Sark?Prohibition Edition sounds like what it is: a transparent attempt to cast a pallor of history over an unabashedly modern product. It was first released in 2013 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the repeal of the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. The cynics among you will wonder why a Scottish whisky is celebrating an American historical event, or why the 80th year is more worthy of celebration than, say, the 75th. Or the 90th. I have no answer, except the tenuous link between the brand (named after the Cutty Sark, a British tea clipper) and the famous captain Bill McCoy (as in “The Real”) who smuggled illicit Cutty Sark whiskey into the States during the years of Prohibition. I guess. Neat - First impression - Fruity and very “malt”-like. After sitting in the glass 5 min, however, I get a vegetal note. Reminds me of my Bladnoch 12. The nose on initial hit was very pleasant, 23/25, but now it’s around 19. So I will give it a 21.

During her time as a clipper, the ship made eight voyages from China to London. Cutty Sark the Whisky This bottle has just under half left and has been open about two months. It's also reviewed with a few drops of water.

Cutty Sark the Tea Clipper 

Palate: Thin body. Very sweet upfront, with dense toffee, soft caramel, and vanilla saltwater taffy. A moderate tongue burn, not as hot as 50% would imply. Not much evolution on the tongue, although some of the sugar notes evolve into woody/oaky ones, which gives a nice balance and prevents it from becoming cloying. During and after World War I, the government sought to lower the ABV of whisky (and other spirits), particularly in areas of munition production. The compulsory ABV of whisky was lowered to 37.2% ABV in 1915 and then moved up and down between 28.6% ABV and 42.9% ABV in the following years – odd-seeming strengths that were round numbers in old UK proof measurements. In 1917, the strength in non-munitions areas had to be 40% ABV and the strength in munitions areas 28.6% ABV. Later, distillers were again allowed to bottle at higher strengths. But spirit duty rises in 1920 – which producers were not allowed to pass on as price increases – meant that it was not economically feasible for whisky to be bottled above 40% ABV. The standard strength we see across the shelves came not from master blenders carefully diluting and conducting taste tests, but instead from a teetotaller who may never have tasted whisky at all.
