Blood Orange rocks Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Wednesday night saw the launch of the new Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition (a.k.a. Cutty Pro) blended Scotch whisky in Brooklyn.
Cutty Sark introduced its first new whisky marque to the U.S. since the original blend was smuggled into America over 80 years ago.
Aptly named “Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition,” the new whisky salutes the rebellious spirit of Captain Bill McCoy, the man whose smuggling operation in the Prohibition era between 1920-1933 was so effective it gave rise to Cutty Sark’s reputation as “The Real McCoy.”
Blood Orange – Only Time Will Tell
Taking place in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the event featured a live music set by Devonté “Dev” Hynes (also known as Blood Orange) and an original photography series by Tod Seelie. Dev and Tod live and work in Brooklyn, a borough of New York renowned for being a hotbed of trailblazers from the music, art and other creative pursuits.
Additional entertainment includes a DJ set from Brendan Fallis, boxing from Chris Algieri and Bellmore Kickboxing Academy, dancers from Lady Circus and customized zines from 8ball Zines Production. Food will be provided by Roberta’s and Crif Dogs and beverages by Jason Littrell of Critical Mass Events and Robert Krueger of Extra Fancy.
All artists embody Captain McCoy’s crusading spirit incarnate. They are all driven by the pursuit of authenticity and creative excellence within their respective genres – much like McCoy and his Cutty Sark whisky.
