Whisky (or whiskey) is produced in various guises all over the world. Japanese Whisky, Irish Whiskey and American Whiskeys (including Bourbon) are challenging Scotch Whisky, with of them many winning notable awards and accolades. Meanwhile, whiskies from countries as diverse as India, Canada, Sweden, Wales, Taiwan and England are also becoming increasingly noteworthy in both quality and abundance.

The distillation process spread to Scotland and Ireland by the 15th century via Alexandrian Greeks, Medieval Arabs and Latin Europeans. The Scots and the Irish, who already had a well-developed tradition of farming cereal crops, used the technique to distil from a variety of fermented grain mashes to produce a spirit, most closely resembling today’s new make spirits.

The process of distilling fermented grain mash and aging it in oak barrels to make Whisky (or whiskey) has spread the world and has resulted in a remarkable range of styles, including Single Malt Whisky, Blended Malt Whisky, Grain Whisky, Rye Whiskey and Blended Whisky (containing both Single Malt Whisky and Grain Whisky).

  • ( 0 Customer Review )

The most recognizable bottle in the Jack Daniel’s family of whiskeys is the Black Label bottle. Accounting for almost 96% of Jack Daniel’s annual whiskey sales, today the Black Label brand is the #1 selling whiskey in the world with around 150 million bottles sold worldwide every year…

Not only has the Black Label bottle been available in three different proofs in the last 25 years, but each proof has also been offered in a variety of sizes…Along with the different whiskey proofs and bottle sizes, Jack Daniel’s occasionally makes changes to the look of their bottles as well…

In the spring of 2011, a change to the Black Label bottle was introduced. Though this design has not yet been named (UPDATE…currently being referred to as the Evo bottle), the new bottle’s shape is generally the same as the Heritage bottle, but with prominent corners and edges that emphasize the square look even more. What also makes this modification significant is that it was accompanied by a label change as well…

Cutty Black 100 Proof Sample (2cl, 50%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Undoubtedly anything but a classic whiskey, already on the nose can be seen that you can expect here neither a single malt nor a boring standard blend. As a liquorice friend who appreciates sweet, sticky liquorice liquor almost 😉 as well as a beautiful Irishman or a hefty sweet Scot, I recognize the best of both worlds here. As a whiskey, I would give the Cutty Sark Black no 30 points, but he is too little “pure”, too little deep, not enough aromatic. As an alcoholic liquorice drink, however, the 77 points that I simply give out here are more than just earned.

Then we triple distil them – not because we have to because we want to as it gives it its signature smoothness. Finally, we age them in oak casks for a minimum of 4 years.
