Review:

Originally created made by stirring 2 shots of Johnnie Walker King George V with 1 shot of Drambuie The Royal Legacy Of 1745 and 1 dash Peychaud's aromatic bitters. This original version really was a case of two British Royals being bittered by an American and excellent it was too.

History:

Created in 2010 by yours truly at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
