Lot number: 080-3975
Winning bid: £15
Cutty Sark's genesis was a lunch attended by Francis Berry, Hugh Rudd ( the partners of Berry Bros. & Rudd) and artist James McBey - who suggested the name. The lighter style was created for the American market, which at the time was still in the grip of Prohibition. The first Scotch whisky to sell 1 million cases in the USA, its distinctive yellow label was initially a printer's error.
This limited edition bottling commemorates 50 years of Cutty Sark being bottled at Edrington's premises in Drumchapel on the outskirts of Glasgow.
40% ABV / 70cl
