Cutty
Sark: It is a Scottish artist friend of the owners, who named the Cutty Sark
brand and designed the distinctive label over lunch in the parlour at the back
of the shop, to Captain James McCoy an American bootlegger who supplied Cutty
Sark Whisky during the days of prohibition.
Ethereal to light-bodied. Pleasant, if one dimensional on the tongue, showing mild, grain mash, manufactured, sweet flavor notes of light toffee and cane sugar.

More Info!
The Cutty Sark is the most famous tea clipper built, and is
the only one to survive. She is now in dry dock at Greenwich. Cutty Sark was
built for John Willis to be the fastest clipper on the China tea route. Her
design was taken from one of his other ships "The Tweed", with special
modifications to make her handle better and sail faster.
She was launched at Dumbarton on the River Clyde, Scotland, in 1869. The name
comes from Robert Burns' poem, Tam O'Shanter; Tam meets a group of witches, most
of whom are ugly, but for Nannie, who is young and beautiful and is described as
wearing only a "cutty sark", i.e., a short chemise or shirt. The ship's
figurehead is a representation of this witch.
The Cutty Sark's sleek lines and enormous area of sail made her the fastest ship
in the race via the Cape of Good Hope for the then particularly money-spinning
tea trade with China. Unluckily for her owners, the Suez Canal was opened in the
same year as her launch, which is not navigable by sailing ships. Her last cargo
of tea was carried in 1877.
Whiskey The occasional tippler may be intimidated by all the nuances of fine
whiskey; after all, there are just so many variables to consider. What is the
local climate and geography of the distillery? What the kind of grain is used,
and how is it prepared for fermenting? What is the shape of the still? What kind
of oak is used for the cask, and how long is the whiskey aged? Jackson's
collection of essays and photographs will teach newbies how to answer all of
these questions, but it will gratify the most obsessive enthusiasts as well.
Every step of the process gets its own explanation, and there are even essays on
food pairings and cocktail recipes.
