I saw this bottle originally in a Youtube video and was quite fascinated. Luckily, when I tracked it down in a local wine shop, they were selling it at a same price level as the original Cutty Sark.
The aroma of the dram was the pinch hitter for me in my opinion. I got a burnt or crispy toast notes with a healthy dollop of honey and in between those notes, I've picked up a nutty and chocolate notes as well. The peat levels rise when tasting the dram. Got a whole lot of heathery peat kind of like Highland Park 12. The honey on the nose kind of evolves into this butterscotch character. Finish is medium at best with the toasty honey bread vibe that last a good 6 to 7 seconds before fading.
I got to say one of my favorite blended scotch whisky of all time. I just really hope they can restock more soon.

I recently discovered this and loved it. Unfortunately, it’s discontinued in NC.
@FallenAsh The original Cutty is my favorite blended for it's flavor and value. In the summer I often have Cutty on the rocks with soda instead of a microbrew. However, I am not a fan of peat. I appreciate your review. I know to try this pour at a bar first to see if it is for me. I am hopeful it will be a step up from the basic.
