Whisky Focus - Cutty Sark Tam o' Shanter 25 Year Old

Cutty Sark have just launched their first special limited edition, Cutty Sark Tam o' Shanter 25 year old Blend - an ideal dram to celebrate at a Burns Night supper!

It is well documented that Cutty Sark, (the whisky) was named after Cutty Sark, (the ship) which took its name from the scanty clothing of the sexy witch in Robert Burns' poem, Tam o' Shanter.

Cutty Sark Tam o' Shanter is a specially created 25 year old blend, limited to 5,000 bottles, bottled at 46.5% ABV and is available at a recommended retail price of £199.

Cutty Sark Tam o’ Shanter is a new variant of the existing Cutty Sark 25 year old, with a distinctly darker, wilder side, perfectly reflecting the world famous Burns' poem. It is also the first brand new liquid expression created completely by Cutty Sark master blender, Kirsteen Campbell.

The glass bottle has been created specifically for this new expression and is based on the oldest in Cutty Sarks archive. It features the famous chase scene from the Robert Burns poem Tam o’ Shanter, etched around the entire bottle, as well as a wax closure showing Tam’s face in relief.

Cutty Sark Tam o’ Shanter includes a fantastic book with over 50 illustrated scenes by the late Alexander Goudie, widely considered to be one of Scotland’s finest figurative painters.

The book and bottle are presented in a bespoke, oak box which has been decorated in the style of Goudie.
 

Here is the tale O' a horse wi' nae tail
Tae make ye think
When ye next tak a drink...
