Hello whisky drinkers!
Please join us and our friend Nicola Riske for this blended scotch whisky tasting!
Cutty Sark was launched to immediate international acclaim. The name "Cutty Sark" was inspired by the fastest and most famous of all the Scottish-buil clipper ships, launched in 1869. The clipper was named after a young witch dressed in a "Cutty Sark" or short shirt, who could run as fast as the wind, from the famous poem Tam O'Shanter by Scotland's celebrated poet Robert Burns.
The Famous Grouse was created in 1896. It was a Perthshire grocer and wine merchant Matthew Gloag who first created his whisky. Unconventional from the start, he named his whisky after an iconic Scottish bird, rather than himself. And the Grouse Brand was born.
It was the popularity of the whisky, together with the quality of the liquid, which led to the success of his whisky - which was the reason he added the word "Famous" to the name in 1905.
