Cutty Sark (whisky)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search
Cutty Sark is a range of blended Scotch whisky produced by Edrington plc of Glasgow whose main office is less than 10 miles from the birthplace of the famous clipper ship of the same name. The whisky was created on March 20, 1923, with the home of the blend considered to be at The Glenrothes distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. The name comes from the River Clyde-built clipper ship Cutty Sark, whose name came from the Scots language term cutty- sark, the short shirt prominently mentioned in the famous poem by Robert Burns - "Tam O' Shanter".
The Tall Ships' Races for large sailing ships were originally known as The Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races, under the terms of sponsorship by the whisky brand.
BottlingsThe most popular member of the range, Cutty Sark Original Scots Whisky, is sold in a distinctive green bottle with a yellow label.
The range also includes other blends, and premium blends, currently identified by the age of the youngest whisky in the blend. ReviewsCutty Sark has received modest reviews from international Spirit ratings organizations. In 2008 and 2009, for example, the San Francisco World Spiritis Competitions awarded the Cutty Sark blended scotch a bronze and a silver medal.[1] The Beverage Testing Institute, meanwhile, gave the scotch a modest score of 85 in 2008.[1] Related PostsHeritage Discount Wines & LiquorsArgonaut Wine and Liquor, Denver,CO Market Watch Leader 2010 Applejack Wine and Spirits, Colorado-Denver Liquor Store | ||||||||||||
