Product Description
A 25 year old blended whisky from the folks at Cutty Sark, released to celebrate Burns Night 2012. It's named for one of Burns's most famous poems, the fairly epic Tam O'Shanter, a tale of staying too late in the pub and the ghostly visions that Tam saw on the way home. The whisky comes in a hefty wooden box and both box and bottle are adorned with scenes of the horrors that Tam encountered. It comes with a beautiful book featuring the full text of the poem, some history and a selection of art inspired by the story.

Tasting Notes by Martine Nouet for Whisky Magazine
-
Nose
Deep, dark, concentrated. Obviously sherried. Cherries in marasquino. Dark chocolate. Walnuts and dates. Earthy.
-
Palate
Sweet at first then a sour grip dries the palate. Oak is obviously leading the dance but in a harmounius 'pas de deux' with spices. Candied ginger and nutmeg.
-
Finish
Long, dry, spicy.
-
Comments
Oaky, elegant, rich.

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom for Whisky Magazine
-
Nose
Rich and round with distinct coffee accents. Lots of ripe dark fruits, plum and raisin, a hint of soft leather/cobbler's workshop.
-
Palate
Thick and smooth with a very pure note in the centre and lift of lime. Black cherry and toffee. Rounded and chewy, with a cough of smoke.
-
Finish
Lighter than you expect. Very clean and spicy.
-
Comments
A bigger Cutty than you might expect but the purity of character links it to the family. Weel (sic) done!

Full-bodied, boisterous and sweet with a darkly sinister menace, rich velvet curtains surround dark chocolate, eucalyptus, cracked black pepper and drying mint with rich, full, sherry sweetness and toffee
-
Finish
Lingering, long, rich and sweet yet spicy

An oustanding whisky in my view that tells a story as one enjoys its scents and palate! It slowly mellows around first the nose and taste buds, heating up slowly the whole mouth with its lasting Gothic- Byzantine texture infused with its candid aromas! A regal pleasure of a drink and an outstanding tribute to Burns' memory! A jewel of whisky culture that one can only fully value when the mouth is lushly washed by its delicate blend of silky damask-like flavours! Its presentation oak box and book are a superb compliment that frame the bottle and its blended whisky into a work of art! I bought it as a present with no regrets for the price I paid! Well done for this masterpiece Cutty Sark!

Beautiful presentation - needs explanation to open section for book. As yet product not tried but am sure it will meet expectations. A great addition for a special Burns Night celebration.
