Rob Roy Cocktail
Scotch whisky's answer to the Manhattan. The Rob Roy is classically made with Angostura Bitters, but in his 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, as a footnote...

If you have never had a Rob Roy with a Spanish style sweet vermouth then I highly recommend you try it. Monkey Shoulder blended Scotch and Lustau Vermut go so well together.

Ran a side by side by comparison of carpano and Dolin rouge as the vermouth here. The subtlety of the Dolin was hands down winner for me. Used a single malt and abbots bitters.

Made my Rob with a Brown butter washed Johnny Walker Black and Carpano Antico Formula. Thinking about a second before I’ve finished half the first.

After a few experiments made exactly as described, Johnny Walker black and Dolin rouge. Added a dash of orange bitters also. Really very good.

Made with half Dolin Rouge and half Punt e Mes, which I think cuts the sweetness a bit, and generous Peychaud's Bitters because I have no Abbotts. The last 2oz from a bottle of Johnny Walker Black. It's very nice and perfect on a cold fall evening in front of the fire.

My first Rob Roy with Glenfiddich 12. Great cocktail. Spicier than I expected.

Simply, it’s a great drink.

Perfect for an evening sipper. Did use half rosso vermouth and half dry vermouth. Slightly changed the final cocktail, but it was not quite as sweet.
