Apparently Cutty Sark is a whiskey, which presumably is what you meant, but the first DDG result is a British naval ship which … Also kinda makes sense?
Many liquor brands have a sailor/pirate theme. I never saw the appeal personally, but I guess it just plays off the stale “sailors drink a lot, amirite?” meme.
Before the ship it was an old scottish folkstory about a guy going home on a stormy night, encountering a coven of witches, calling out out to one that had a really small shirt (cutty sark) and never being seen again Ichabod Crane style. The figurehead on the ship is what gave the ship it’s name, because it was based on that story.

The scotch is named after the ship
