This altogether lighter and whiter version of the classic Scotch Manhattan is delicious and comparable to what the White Negroni did for the classic Negroni
? A lovely balance of the whiskey notes and the aniseed of the Peychaud’s with the sweetish vermouth. I ended up using Glenlivet 12 as I didn’t have a blended whiskey in the house and my others are a lot more peated.
This is a great variation of the Rob Roy. You must use a good Whisky and the Peychaud's bitters adds a touch of herbal. We used a Whisky blend which is not too smoky, but you can use your favourite brand and it will make a flavourful and interesting night cap.
