With guidance from master blender Kirsteen Campbell, the pair produced a distinctive whisky to coincide with the 90th anniversary of Cutty Sark.

The first 100 purchases of Caskstrength and Carry On (Cutty Sark) blended Scotch whisky include a ‘Cask Strength and Carry On‘ cotton bag.
Also included is an edition of ‘The Daily Cargo’, a collectible newspaper with articles from industry experts, cocktail recipes and a glimpse into the creative and wacky minds of Harrison and Ridley themselves.
