Why do you care? Because they make a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;LOT \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;of Whisky, including perennial Single-malt favorite \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Macallan, The Famous Grouse, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Highland Park \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;for goodness sake! They also own \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Brugal, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;which is the leading golden Rum in the Caribbean and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Snow Leopard Vodka. The Edrington Group \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;are not one of the super-giant-behemoths, but there is some serious skill in their bottles. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Cutty Sark \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;produces a wide range of blended Whiskies that have formed the core of back-bars for decades. The Whisky gets its name from the ship — \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Cutty Sark \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;— which was one of the last and fastest sailing cargo ships ever made. And it was built just a few miles from the distillery about the time the Robertson’s started distilling near \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Glasgow, Scotland. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;The ship, in turn, was named after… ahem… a scantily-clad character in Robert Burn’s famous poem,\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; “Tam ‘o Shanter.”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; In fact, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“cutty-sark” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;roughly translates to \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“short skirt” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;in the local vernacular. Hot chicks, fast ships, and Whisky… some things never change. A carving of the fetching and bewitching lass was carved into the bow of the ship. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Cutty Sark Prohibition is dedicated to the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“notorious Captain William McCoy”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; who smuggled \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Cutty Sark \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;into America during the dark days of Prohibition. So for this special edition bottling of their core blended Scotch Whisky, they pulled out all the stops. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The bottle is \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;rich black glass, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;label old-school, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and the Spirit is bottled at \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;50% \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;ABV\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;like it was back in the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1920s. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;The normal Cutty Sark is 40% ABV, so \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Cutty Sark Prohibition \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;makes that other stuff look like a schoolboy. And all Cutty Sarks are \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“blended Scotch” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;Whiskies, which means that they balance it out with other grains to ensure a consistent flavor profile. At nearly cask-strength, it has flavor to spare. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;SmartAss Corner:\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;In the film Goodfellas, Joe Pesci’s character — Tommy De Vito — orders a “Cutty and water.” It was one of the most popular drinks among mobsters during their heyday. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132274008246,"sku":"39603","price":8.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/cuttysarkprohibition-700ml_39603_01_c41eae70_3111dc0d-6e84-47eb-9396-2c39c8b76d5d.jpg?v=1779127036","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/cuttysarkprohibition-700ml-39603","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
