Cutty Sark 17 Years Old launches globally
Scotch whisky Cutty Sark has expanded its portfolio with a triple-cask-matured 17-year-old blend.
Cutty Sark 17 is a blend of malt whiskies married in Sherry and Port casks, and grain whisky aged in Bourbon casks.
The whisky clocks in at 42.3% ABV.
Stephen Woodcock, master blender, said: “Cutty Sark has always been a whisky for those seeking adventure – and Cutty Sark 17 is a sumptuous voyage into new depths to taste.
“To create this rich blend, we first selected fine, aged Highland and Speyside single malts, and married them together for 17 months in hand-picked Sherry and Port casks.
“Then we united those malts with Lowland grain whisky matured in first-fill Bourbon casks for exceptional creaminess. Bold, fruity and spicy, our 17 is an ocean of complexity, just waiting to be explored.”
Cutty Sark 17 is available worldwide as of this month (October), priced at RRP £85 to £90 (US$115 to US$121).
Tasting notes include aromas of candied orange peel, red cherries, plums and chocolate, with gentle spice. When sipped, the palate is said to deliver a mouth-coating and oily texture, with oak notes, baking bread and cappuccino with a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
The finish is long and lingering, with subtle spices and hints of oak and malt.
Manon Brochet, international senior manager at La Martiniquaise-Bardinet, owner of Cutty Sark, said: “We’re thrilled to be sharing Cutty Sark 17 with the boldest whisky fans around.
“Born from our pioneering spirit, this whisky stands out for its complex character, exceptional quality and stunning packaging. It is an ideal gift for every whisky connoisseur with adventure in their DNA.”
Cutty Sark celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023.
