Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition Blended Scotch Whisky 700mL
700mL @ 50% abv
Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition was created to celebrate Captain William McCoy who supposedly smuggled Cutty Sark into the the USA during prohibition. He was renowned for never cutting his liquor and always delivering the good stuff which was dubbed the real McCoy . There s no way to validate whether Captain McCoy ever smuggled in Cutty Sark, but he was an actual rum-runner during prohibition (bootlegger). However the term the real McCoy is more often accredited to a story involving an early 1900 s bare knuckle boxer named Kid McCoy, though even that s in dispute and term could originate even earlier.
