Cutty Sark

Blended Scotch, Scotland · 1923'den beri

Cutty Sark was launched in 1923 by the venerable London wine and spirit merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd, taking its name from the famous 19th-century clipper ship that once raced tea across the high seas. The whisky gained remarkable notoriety during Prohibition in the United States, reportedly becoming one of the most sought-after Scotch blends smuggled across the Atlantic. Its pale golden color and deliberately light, approachable character set it apart from the heavier, peatier expressions of its era — a deliberate choice designed to appeal to the American palate. Notes of vanilla, light honey, fresh citrus, and gentle grain sweetness define its profile, with a clean, short finish that invites another sip. Over the decades, ownership and distribution rights have changed hands, yet Cutty Sark has retained its place as a recognizable, everyday Scotch blend. For those new to whisky or seeking something unfussy and pleasant, it remains a reliable companion at the bar.
