  Cutty Black 100 Proof Blended Whisky 50%

  Item no.: 22227865425-2018

  Captain William McCoy ran whisky into the United States during Prohibition and never watered it down. People started asking for the genuine article — the real McCoy. This bottle is a nod to him.

  Expert description

  Cutty Sark Prohibition is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 50%.

  The edition was made as a tribute to Prohibition, when Cutty Sark was among the most smuggled whiskies on the American east coast. McCoy anchored outside territorial waters and sold bottles on to small boats — and because he never diluted the goods, his name turned into a phrase. The 50% strength was chosen to reach the body the whisky had before it passed through many hands.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Stronger than the yellow label. Vanilla, dried fruit and cereal, with a touch of spice and a warm oak note.

  Palate

  Full and oily. Caramel, orange peel and malt, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry oak edge. There is more body than in the standard release, but the same pale fruit character underneath.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with spice, cereal and a persistent warmth.

  Did you know?

  The phrase the real McCoy is, on one widely repeated account, down to Captain William McCoy, who refused to dilute or adulterate his smuggled whisky. The expression stuck long after Prohibition ended.

  Cutty Black 100 Proof Blended Whisky 50%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-31

  Fifty percent on a blend is rare today. It was not in post-war America, where 100 proof stood for something you did not have to apologise for.

  Expert description

  Cutty Black 100 Proof is a Blended Whisky bottled at 50% in a 75 cl bottle.

  The 100 proof designation comes from the American system, where the proof figure is exactly double the alcohol percentage. The 75 cl format and the black label place the bottle in an earlier era, when the Cutty Sark house ran several parallel expressions for different markets. The higher strength gives more body and a longer finish than the ordinary bottlings from the same family.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Malt and dried fruit first, then honey, oak and a warm spiced note from the strength.

  Palate

  Full and powerful. Cereal, caramel and orange peel, with a dry oak edge and a peppery warmth that the fifty percent carries without burning.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with malt, nuts and a persistent spiced warmth.

  Investment potential

  Medium. The release is discontinued, the 75 cl format is out of production, and blends at 50% are a rarity outside American market editions.

  Did you know?

  The proof system comes from an old British method where spirit was poured over gunpowder and set alight. If the powder caught, the strength was proven — hence the word proof. The Americans later fixed the number at double the alcohol percentage.

  Cutty Sark Blended Whisky 40%

  Item no.: 22227865425-11

  If a single malt is a virtuoso soloist, a blend is a full orchestra. Cutty Sark was created in 1923 by the wine merchants at Berry Bros & Rudd — and they wanted something pale while the rest of the trade made it dark.

  Expert description

  Cutty Sark is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40%.

  The blend is built on around twenty selected single malts, mostly from Speyside, married with high quality grain whisky. When the bottle appeared in 1923 it was deliberately pale at a time when whisky was otherwise sold dark — a decision taken by Berry Bros & Rudd in London, who also named it after the tea clipper Cutty Sark. The yellow label was drawn by the Scottish artist James McBey.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Golden and light. Grass, flowers and coconut, with a touch of vanilla underneath.

  Palate

  Complex for something so light. Gentle notes of vanilla and coconut, with American oak, malt and a soft fruit sweetness. The broad palette is the whole idea — no single note sticks out.

  Finish

  Dry, fruity and spiced, with cereal and a mild oak warmth.

  Did you know?

  Cutty Sark was one of the most heavily smuggled whiskies during American Prohibition. Captain William McCoy shipped it in from the Bahamas without watering it down, and his reputation for genuine goods gave the language the phrase the real McCoy.

  Cutty Sark Yellow Label Blended Scotch Whisky 37,5 cl 40%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-147

  Nobody keeps the half bottle. It gets drunk, packed in a bag or taken to the cabin — which is exactly why the old ones are hard to find in good condition.

  Expert description

  Cutty Sark Yellow Label is a Blended Scotch Whisky bottled at 40% in a 37.5 cl bottle.

  The yellow label has followed Cutty Sark since 1923, when the Scottish artist James McBey drew it for Berry Bros & Rudd's new blend. The half bottle format was made for travel, bars and gift sets, and for that reason very few were ever kept. The contents are the same pale, fruity blend of around twenty Speyside malts and grain whisky that made the bottle known worldwide.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Pale and fresh. Grass, citrus and coconut, with vanilla and a trace of malt behind.

  Palate

  Light and soft. Vanilla, apple and cereal, with American oak and a mild spiced warmth. No edges, no smoke.

  Finish

  Short to medium, dry and fruity with a touch of oak.

  Investment potential

  Medium. Half bottles are rarely kept, so well-preserved examples with the old yellow label are less common than the corresponding full bottle.

  Did you know?

  James McBey, who drew the label, was a respected Scottish etcher and war artist. The vivid yellow is said to be down to a misunderstanding at the printer — it was meant to be more muted, but Berry Bros decided to keep it.
