Cutty Sark “Caskstrength And Carry On” Edition

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Scotch

Bottler: Edrington Group

ABV: 51.4%

Score: 92 Points

This limited edition Cutty Sark bottling was blended by Cutty’s Master Blender, Kirsteen Campbell, along with Neil Ridley and Joel Harrison of Caskstrength.net. The nose is warm and spicy with ginger, grapefruit, and a hint of honey. The taste is peppery and warming with lemon cream, brown sugar, and a touch of smoky wet wood. The finish is smooth and slow to fade, with notes consistent with the taste and good balance. Adding a few drops of water accentuates the creaminess on the taste and adds length to the finish.  (March, 2013)
