In 2022 they released a 12-year-old version of their iconic blended whisky, paying tribute to the rich history and countless anchor points of the equally legendary ship. Crafted by Master Blender Stephen Woodcock, the whiskies mature separately in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Then, they are blended and married before being bottled at 80 proof. The black bottle and cork seal are a nod to the Prohibition era, when Cutty Sark gained its notoriety. The extra age results in a full-bodied and complex expression that remains mellow with notes of dried and tropical fruits, spice, cloves, ginger, and sea salt.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGet your bottle of this 12-year-old blended Scotch today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Cutty Sark\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Built in 1869 with an iron frame and a wooden hull, the Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship that was designed to transport tea from from China to London. At the time of its construction, the tea trade was intensely competitive and substantial bonuses were paid to ships that arrived in London with the first tea of the year. As a result, the Cutty Sark was engineered to be one of the fastest ships in the world, logging a maximum speed of 17.5 knots. The ship's name was derived from the nickname of Nannie Dee, a witch in Robert Burns' poem Tam o'Shaner.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCutty Sark Scotch Whisky is produced by Edrington of Glasgow, whose main offices are fewer than 10 miles away from the birthplace of the clipper. Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition pays homage to Captain William McCoy, who smuggled Cutty Sark whisky into the United States during Prohibition. His reputation for dealing with unadulterated liquor (at the time, many bootleggers mixed their spirits with other liquids in order to increase yield) gave rise to the Cutty Sark being referred to as \"The Real McCoy.\"                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3182\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Cutty Sark bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
