The Bottom Shelf Whisk(e)y Review Rules.
1. We personally purchased the bottle for under $30 before tax. To stay in line we do not accept bottles as gifts for the show or special discounts. All purchases must be able to be done by any regular consumer.
2. Two of our reviewers are always blind. This is so that brand and price will not have an effect on their judgment of the whiskey. (Josh has to pour the spirit and host, so he is not drinking blind.)

Cutty Sark - Blended Scotch - 012

[@Jackthesmilingblack]

I can buy a 70cl bottle for US$6.30. here in sunny Japan. Bottom shelf but OK with plenty of ice and soda.

[@WhiskyBuzz]

Thanks for the review - I wasn’t sure about this Whisky 😄

[@ThriftyWhiskey]

Josh - I am still not sure about it. We will see how it does head to head against three other blended scotches.

[@mellowcornpapi2305]

I tried it based on your review, I liked it but I think I'm going to hunt down the prohibition version for a little bit higher proof

[@ThriftyWhiskey]

I haven't seen that version yet. I also want the Cutty Sark Storm at some point.

[@mellowcornpapi2305]

@@ThriftyWhiskey I'm actually going to hunt for the prohibition style tomorrow, it's payday and my off day and I have a good lead

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

Another cheap one that punches above its weight. Similar to J&B Rare. Very Salty, like the Salt in the bottom of a Pretzel bag, but in a good way.

Bad indexing
