Cutty Storm

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Scotch

Bottler: Edrington Group

ABV: 40%

Score: 92 Points

The debut blend from Cutty Sark Master Blender Kirsteen Campbell has a good maltiness on the nose with hints of smoke and soft peat, roasted almonds, oak, and a hint of molasses. The taste is spicy and intense with cinnamon that doesn’t hide a hint of lemon underneath, butterscotch, grapefruit juice, and mango notes. The finish has a great balance of spiciness and sweetness, and is long and consistent. Outstanding! (January, 2013)
