Appearance: A light straw color is the hue in this high selling blended scotch. Very thin, semi-viscous legs slide down the inside of the glass after a swirl. Nose: On the nose I find notes of grain, dusty corn, a small touch of peat, some ashy smoke, salted caramel candy, and a light lemon flourish. Taste: The palate I find, as their website suggests, not harsh at all. There are notes of honey, some light peat again, lemon or clementine citrus, and red grape. Simple and inoffensive. Finish: The short finish leaves a lemony note that has rung true through the majority of the experience. Thoughts: This blended scotch was a decent dram: affordable, decent tasting, and has a cool history. It’s not a hero whiskey one needs to explore very hard; on the Cutty Sark website they even suggest its best utilized when mixed. I’ll probably not buy it again, but won’t turn anyone away from trying it if they haven’t already. Thanks Cutty Sark! I’m curious to try your Prohibition Edition. Sláinte!
