Cutty Sark Prohibition Whisky

Cutty Sark Prohibition

Cutty Sark Prohibition is a blend of exceptional single malts and high-quality grain whiskies. Inspired by Bill McCoy's courage to smuggle Cutty Sark into Prohibition-dry America, this whisky is bottled in a sleek black glass bottle. Cutty Sark Prohibition has a smooth finish you won't be able to forget.

Released 90 years after the end of the era which it celebrates, Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition has been crafted as a salute to the notorious Captain William McCoy, who smuggled Cutty Sark blended Scotch whisky into America during the Prohibition era of the 1920s.  Captain McCoy’s impeccable reputation for fairness and dealing only in the finest, genuine and unadulterated liquor gave rise to Cutty Sark being referred to as “The Real McCoy”. Prohibition Edition is bottled at 50% ABV (100 Proof – USA Measure), whilst our regular Cutty Sark blend is 40% ABV. This is a “small batch” blend of the finest single malts and top-quality grain whiskies.  Hand-selected American oak casks give subtle signature flavours of vanilla and citrus fruits, whilst the overall flavours and finish are extremely smooth and thrillingly complex. The black glass bottle has a cork seal – reflecting the traditions of the time.
