Cutty Sark 25 yr. old coming to the U.S.?
May 23rd, 2008While touring Speyside distilleries last month, my wife Amy and I really enjoyed a dram of Cutty Sark 25 year old–a whisky not available in the U.S. Here’s how I described it in my blog a few weeks ago:
Glenrothes is a key component to the Cutty Sark blend. I tasted the Cutty 25 year old while I was in Speyside and it was amazing. I loved the combination of drinkability, flavor, complexity and balance. It’s one of the best blended whiskies I have ever tasted. Even my wife, who doesn’t normally drink whisky, finished her entire dram. And if she hadn’t, I would have finished it for her! The only problem: it’s not sold in the U.S.
Well, my comments found their way to one of the Cutty Sark PR people and he sent me this message:
I met with David King [Whiskymaker for Glenrothes and Cutty Sark] yesterday and he is particularly pleased with your comments regarding Cutty Sark 25 year old – to the extent that he is considering launching it in the USA.
Watch this space! My fingers are crossed.

This sounds intriguing, please keep us informed. And if it is released here, let us know if it will hit the midwest.

I’ll keep everyone in the loop.
