I received this bottle as a birthday present back in early March from my friend Paul. I believe he had tried this before and thought I’d enjoy it, and knowing I don’t usually buy cheaper blends, he decided to make this part of my gift this year. Many thanks, @Generously_Paul. The Prohibition Edition is a throwback blend that differs mostly from the normal Cutty Sark simply by upping the ABV to 50%, from the typical 40%. It’s sunset gold in the tasting glass with tiny beads and sparse legs. It’s also quite slick and oily. I believe this bottle runs about $35 locally. The nose is predominantly butterscotch, heavy malt and candied corn. There’s some caramel and light citrus rounding things out. I mostly came away smelling butterscotch candies, however, even given some time in the Glencairn. The palate had a raw peanut aspect, along with toffee and butterscotch chews. There was some pepper spice creeping in by mid sip and the oily mouth coat left those pepper and alcohol notes stuck to my tongue. The finish was long and sweet, with vanilla and buttered bread hanging around, along with a lingering warmth and hint of pepper. Overall, this is the poster child for one dimensional malts. The butterscotch candy notes never wavered. The price point is excellent and the boosted ABV will hold up nicely in cocktails or over a few ice cubes. I’m just not as in love with this malt as a lot of reviewers seem to be. Yes, it’s easily approachable, cheap and crushable- it just doesn’t do much for me. I’d give it a solid 3 stars just on price and punch, but I don’t think this is a bottle I need to replace or keep around. Cheers.
