Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition Blended Scotch Whisky 100 Proof

Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition is the higher-proof expression from the London-originated Cutty Sark blended Scotch brand — bottled at 100 Proof (50% ABV), presenting a warm golden colour, complex and powerful layers of soft ripe citrus fruits dipped in fresh honey and dusted with fragrant spices, and creamy mouth-coating richness with hints of toffee and mouth-wateringly playful peppery notes that tingle the tongue.

Cutty Sark broke the whisky drinking rules when it was launched from London in the 1920s — bringing a lighter taste and lighter colour than what came before it, a refreshing whisky made for experimenting with. The Prohibition Edition’s higher 50% ABV adds intensity and depth to the characteristic citrus, honey, and spice profile. Browse the full Scotch whisky collection at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Prohibition Edition at 100 Proof?

The Prohibition-era name references the 1920s American Prohibition period when Cutty Sark was famously smuggled into the US. The 100 Proof (50% ABV) strength is a nod to the era’s stronger whisky preferences.
