    I touch up all my Scotches and other whiskeys with a bit of water. Then after for the first time in many, many years having Johnny Walker Black again I thought I was going to give up on Cutty Sark. Just not enough there, but surprisingly it pairs up nice with a stout.
    Couple years ago had a pint of Guinness with a J&B at a bar and was amazed how well they went together. (Hadn't had J&B in decades. Stayed away from it actually because for some reason it would get me in a crappy, ornery mood. My brother said it did the same thing to him. ) Treats me right these days though.
    So now I drink my scotches and some Irish whiskeys along with a porter or a stout.
    They compliment and contrast wonderfully.
    Cutty Sark went great with a Murphy's.

    Was looking for a nice entry level Scotch, this review was very helpful and ultimately led me to purchase this whiskey and I really enjoy it! Thank you for the great review.

    DAVE is melting away before our very eyes. Looking fit sir! Cutty Sark is a whisky blend I have tried to enjoy over the years. I just can’t. Best described by my friends at the LA Whisky society as a mix of white wine and piss. Lol.

    Nice pun at the end :) Thanks for reviewing this blend. The comment about it not being a good mixer is helpful as well. I am intrigued with scotch and lemon, so am looking for an inexpensive blend that is good on its own, and in cocktails.

    Loving the blended reviews! I love sampling a range of whiskies not just the expensive ones and there are definitely some gems out there.
    Surprisingly it has been sunny in Glasgow for three weeks so Iv got Johnny Walker Red, Ice, a lemon and soda water to enjoy. All whisky has its time and place and blends to me are as important as malts.
    Thanks again guys😎

    One of my favorite blended, they called it the light scotch because of its color. Nice one. I can see a nice bottle of Cragganmore 12 at the back next to a 101 WildTurkey Bourbon. Love these too. Nice video guys. Can I recommend a video on another cheap one?
    William Lawson or Black n White.

    Cutty was the first bottle of liquor that I owned. I was under aged and headed to Prom. It really takes me back and (if I'm honest) I think Cutty has the coolest label in all of boozedom.

    • @TheSingleMaltReview

      Very true. To me, Dewars White Label and J&B are stalwarts too.

    I saw this everywhere in Portugal a few weeks back when I was on holiday. I did try a dram and didn't mind it however I was drunk at the time.

    • @TheSingleMaltReview
      @TheSingleMaltReview  6 років тому +3

      That's not too surprising. Very light bodied Scotch like this is extremely popular in Spain and Italy, so I'd assume the Portuguese tastes were not far away.

    I’ve always wondered if this considered bottom shelf Scotch here in the United States was any good. Was definitely attracted to the naval theme label, and after seeing this review I’ll probably pick up a bottle the next time I’m at the liquor store! Thanks Single Malt Review!

    • @TheSingleMaltReview
      @TheSingleMaltReview  5 років тому +2

      Always happy to help. I think that if there is a bottom shelf then Cutty is pretty well near the top of it. Let us know what you think of the whisky when you try it.

      Nosing I was able to pick up on notes of milk chocolate, almonds, pear and banana. And with the taste I found honey, butterscotch and vanilla. A surprisingly complex budget blended scotch. Worth every penny of the $15.99 USD that I paid for it.

    I know most of your reviews are done neat, but I was wondering if you'd ever tried any of these bottom shelf whiskey's in a cocktail? Cutty is excellent with ginger ale in a Collins glass. Try it and see what you think?

    ⛽ Gasoline and Curry Sark are indistinguishable. One has an octane rating, the other a similar proof number. That's it. 3:44 These guys actually get addicted to huffing gasoline.

    fellas although i have yet to try as i recently got a bottle sitting on my shelf but i think the look and style of this whisky is similar to j&b rare perhaps even lighter, really enjoyed this review and rewound it a few times to understand what you said as it's informative, funny you say it's a bit more expensive than famous grouse which around here is $29.95cnd and in the states where i got the cutty from for $18.99us it comes to $23.69cnd doing the currency exchange so much cheaper than even the lowest priced whisky here so it depends where you get it ,perhaps had it been sold in canada where im at it may be more expensive than grouse or equal, but i am having trouble finding any info regarding the blends ,amounts or how it's made etc for some reason, if you guys have any helpful links would you be so kind to share them in the reply, thank you

      Getting hard info about the composition of these 'big' blends is usually a closely guarded secret, so finding out what's actually in there can be impossible. Most blends (this included) are typically around 60% grain whisky from one of a handful of huge factories, and then a multitude of malt whiskys (over 40 here). I understand that Glenrothes makes up the majority of the malt content however, if you're familiar with that distillery.

      @@TheSingleMaltReview ahh here we
      " owned by the Edrington group which means it should be no surprise that it supposedly contains both Highland Park and Macallan single malts. Their official documentation states that it’s “mostly Speyside” whisky and looking around the web the speculations about what else is in there support that claim with Glenrothes and Tamdhu being the most commonly mentioned. I’ve also seen Bunnahabhain and Glengoyne mentioned, but without the distillery saying so it’s all speculation."

    • @TheSingleMaltReview
      @TheSingleMaltReview  6 років тому +1

      It's probably a somewhat polarizing blend, given that it is so very light bodied. I wouldn't have ever described it as particularly sweet though, and definitely not sour. I'd be a little bit suspicious of whatever bottle that came out of.
