In the good company of our Tweet Tasters and followers at home, we were also joined by Cutty Sark’s Master Blender Kirsteen Campbell, who not only tweeted in on the action but was also on hand to answer any Cutty based questions on the night.
The drops of drammage we sampled were: Cutty Sark Blend, the new Cutty Sark Storm, Cutty Sark 12 Year old and the teen sensation that is the Cutty Sark 18 Year Old.
To top it all off in fine style, we yet again managed to trend our tasting at the top on Twitter in the UK via #CuttyTT2 and by the end of the night it was clear that everyone who took part was proud to shout “Let’s Hear It For The Blends”.
Here are a few of the tweeted tasted highlights from last night:
@ifotou
Fruity, oranges apples and touch of lime, with fresh vanilla pods. A hint of
freesias and a little edge of digestive biscuit.
@DramStats
Palate sweet arrival, crisp almost zesty barley with a crisp short but pleasant
finish. Really quaffable!
@whiskyrepublic
I'm getting a sweet, smooth nuttiness easing into a lightly spiced finish.
Cutty Sark Storm
@WhiskyDiscovery
Rich dried tropical fruit mix on the nose, coconut, pineapple, mango with some
raisins and sultanas.
@bumpythechemist
Fresh fruity sherry up front, then a big spice hit followed by coffee notes.
Spice hangs on for while in the finish.
@WhiskyTube
Cutty Sark Storm, the Vanilla Latte of the whisky world!
Cutty Sark 12
@jalcock1982
Pleasant nose fruity, rum and raisin, butter icing, sherry, all spice,
Christmas pudding.
@saint_jimmy
Honey sweetness, unsalted butter and milk chocolate.
@dvdbloke
Light, well balanced, honey nut sweetness. Thick, long drying finish, with
fruit cakey excellence. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Cutty Sark 18
@WHISKYILEACHDried fruits. Figs and raisins with green apples.
@MaltBoxVery Speyside-esque, this smells good. Deep Christmas pudding and parkin cake with sherry, orange peel and strong matiness.
