Review:

Complex and sophisticated Scotch with fruity notes.

History:

This classic cocktail most likely originated in London and is named in the "Supplementary List" of cocktails that "space forbids giving the recipes" in William James "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Bar Book.

The Chancellor also appears in Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide.
