Cutty Sark, has unveiled a new limited-edition bottle design in collaboration with Scottish artist Rory Kennedy, celebrating the brand’s Spirit of Adventure.

Inspired by the Scotch whisky’s rich maritime roots and adventurous character, the limited edition transforms the iconic Cutty Sark Original bottle into a striking canvas.

Featuring a hand-painted illustration by Rory Kennedy, the limited-edition release brings Cutty Sark Original blended Scotch whisky to life through his distinctive artistic style, characterised by vibrant colours and dynamic contrasts.

Commenting on the news, Manon Brochet, Senior Brand Manager for Cutty Sark, said: “Cutty Sark has always stood for exploration, curiosity and the courage to chart your own course. Rory Kennedy’s artwork beautifully captures the adventurous spirit that has defined the brand for more than a century. This limited edition allows us to celebrate our Scottish roots and maritime heritage in a fresh, contemporary and visually impactful way, while continuing to bring consumers the same iconic smooth whisky they know and love.”

Rory Kennedy, added: “Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to have a whisky bottle wearing their own artwork? With a boatload of history to work with – from the iconic silhouette of the ship to the tales of its adventures on the high seas – the ideas came easily. I wanted to capture that enduring spirit of adventure and the sense of discovery at the heart of the brand. Looking at it now, it makes me want to nip over the horizon to see what awaits. Until then, a wee dram will do. Slàinte mhath.”

The new limited-edition Cutty Sark bottle, will start rolling out globally to existing markets later this month.
