Cutty Sark is a brand of whisky named after one of the fastest English ships built in 1869. This ship was named after Cutty Sark, the witch who could run fast as the wind wearing a linen sark in Robert Burn’s poem. (Cutty sark means a short skirt in Gaelic) This ship is preserved in dry dock and a famous tourist spot in Greenwich, London
Berry Brothers and Rudd Ltd. located at 3 James Street, London and a company known for its for wine and whisky business, discussed creating a new premium Scotch whisky. A famous artist and former sailor, James McVay, suggested Cutty Sark, a very fast ship in the 19th century, as the new name for the whisky and his suggestion was taken.
