Cutty Sark is a light, floral blended Scotch whisky named after the famous 19th‑century tea clipper. Created in 1923, it’s crafted from Speyside malt whiskies—like what once came from Glenrothes—and grain whisky. Matured primarily in American oak casks, it offers a bright, easy‑drinking profile with gentle maritime character.

Tasting Profile

Nose: Light and fragrant with fresh grass, hay, floral notes, custard, and delicate orchard fruit
Palate: Smooth and mild—vanilla and oak from barrel aging, mixed citrus peel, barley grain, and subtle dried fruit
Finish: Clean, slightly warming, with a comforting malt and gentle oak echo

• Blend composition: Speyside single malts combined with grain whiskies

Interesting Fact

The historic clipper ship Cutty Sark—built in 1869—graces the label. The name comes from Scots dialect meaning “short shirt”—and the distinctive yellow label was a happy printing accident that became iconic.
