Ship Nerds -- The Cutty Sark

[LightningCrash]

Many of you may have got a bit misty eyed when you heard that the Cutty Sark burned in 2007, but I found out that it was restored and opened to the public in 2012. Heck I hadn't thought about it in a while and I was surprised to hear that it was already open.

Any of you ever go see her on trips to the UK?

I've been on her. Impressive. Glad to see that repairs happened.

When I was there last, Sir Francis Chichester's Gypsy Moth IV was next door. I enjoyed seeing both.

Kewl. I would enjoy seeing that.

Cool. Love the big three masters. I was fortunate to be in Cleveland Ohio when there was a tall ship regatta for classic ships. There were accurate reproductions of the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria. They were tiny! Can't believe they had that many people and made a safe crossing.
The biggest was a reproduction of a ship that I can't remember, used in a movie. Big three master, and they manned the sails as they left the port, which was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame location.

This. I only popped in here to tell him that he might as well piss in a bottle, pour it on ice, and drink it if he really likes Cutty Sark enough to write about it.

I drank alot of Cutty for a long time. Was better than the J&B and Dewar's I got started with. I've since graduated to more "refined" tastes (aka, I spend alot more money on it! ), but I will remember Cutty fondly forever. It may not be the best, but come on, it ain't KD, folks.

I have a pint of Cutty that the guys gave me on the day I got out if the army. Never opened. Vintage 76.
Think age would make it better?

Has it seen light? Has it been in contact with the cork?
