Region & Origin
Originally created by Berry Bros & Rudd in London, Cutty Sark is now produced in Scotland by La Martiniquaise-Bardinet. The brand was named after the famous sailing ship Cutty Sark, which stands for speed and elegance.
Production & craft
Cutty Sark is a blend of high-quality single malt and grain whiskies, mainly from the Speyside region. The whiskies are matured in American oak casks, which gives the blend its characteristic vanilla and citrus notes. A special feature is the 21-day "marrying process", in which the whiskies rest before bottling to ensure a harmonious flavor profile.
