I am a Scot from Scotland and have sampled many various Scotches at distilleries throughout Scotland, and have NEVER been offered ice with Scotch!!! ONLY water!!

I am not a connoissuer like you, but i have had a lot of single malts and sometimes buy blends to tide me over (the single malts are getting expensive!). I had been drinking Ballantines and thought i would switch to this for a change, but i thought it tasted awful, and not at all like you describe it. I had one shot and it was harsh and i had to recover for a while, and couldn't drink any more. That's why I Googled it ("is Cutty Sark really this bad?") and found my way here. I'm going to take it back for a refund or something.劳侃https://www.blogger.com/profile/09775277005725755502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-22511077555362143662019-05-21T23:58:00.645-03:002019-05-21T23:58:00.645-03:00Hi Jason,

Secondly, have you tried Cutty Sark Prohibition? I'm about three-quarters through a bottle, and I still have no idea if I like it. It's strangely un-scotchlike... it actually reminds me of some of the rums in the Havana Club range, with the weird petrol notes. It's like Facundo Bacardi and Johnnie Walker decided to distill scotch in an old oil barrel. What did you think?Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15559268757060815000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-43267096061532012122015-12-20T19:25:00.062-04:002015-12-20T19:25:00.062-04:00thxthxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-14782414229405706152015-12-20T19:01:23.610-04:002015-12-20T19:01:23.610-04:00Nope, it does not get better with age.

It gave him discomfort and then he and i were sipping and he found what we were drinking did not bother him at all. I noticed a pattern. Blended whisky with its grain component bothered him, but single malts were most agreeable.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

I find it in my country for only $10 a bottle in a big liquor store. It's much better than Teacher's (the only other good cheap one). Unfortunately you can't find it in great supermarkets. And Johnny Red costs about $16 in the same liquor store. I don't know why Whisky is cheap here. For $32 you have a Chivas regal 12 y and for just $41 you can get the great Single malt Tomatin 12 y. It's glad to know that someone finds Cutty Sark so good for the price, but I evaluate this Whisky even better than you do.Gustavo Chavarríanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-47745067067936792552014-11-13T13:52:59.536-04:002014-11-13T13:52:59.536-04:00I think your brand loyalty and admirable value for...I think your brand loyalty and admirable value for money considerations is generational.
