Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whisky sets sail for new flavour horizons as it shares Cutty Sark 17 with the world. Inspired by the brand’s adventurous spirit, this 17-year-old premium blend unites whisky matured in three different cask types, for rich and opulent tastes. Bringing waves of fruit and spice to Cutty Sark’s smoothness, Cutty Sark 17 will delight whisky connoisseurs with a taste for adventure.
Cutty Sark has stayed true to its spirit of adventure for more than 100 years. Named after the iconic tea clipper, the blend was launched in 1923 at the height of Prohibition – and has been defying convention ever since. Loved worldwide for its mellow and audacious personality, Cutty Sark is a dram for all who dare to go further.
Crafted from a bold cask recipe, Cutty Sark 17 adds layers of fruity complexity to the blend’s trademark smooth style. It combines hand-selected malt whiskies married in sherry and port casks with fine grain whisky aged in bourbon casks – all skillfully enriched by age. Aromas of candied orange, cherries and plums ebb and flow with tastes of oak, cappuccino undercurrents and a subtle splash of spice.
Cutty Sark 17 is showcased in a striking black presentation box, perfect for gifting and collecting. Embellished with golden lettering and a flash of Cutty Sark’s signature yellow, the packaging reflects the quality of the whisky within. Meanwhile a rope and eyelet detail hints at the brand’s nautical heritage. Inside, the black bottle stands out, complete with a playful, rope-effect stopper.
Master Blender Stephen Woodcock said: “Cutty Sark has always been a whisky for those seeking adventure – and Cutty Sark 17 is a sumptuous voyage into new depths of 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.”
International Senior Brand Manager Manon Brochet 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 17 will be launched worldwide in October.
