The recipe above vaguely reminded me of a Scofflaw, but lacking the dynamic bite of rye and vermouth. The drink was ok... I made the quoted Embury recipe after that and that was interesting as I could clearly taste the Irish whiskey (Powers), but it did need a slight boost in lemon and sugar. Set me off on aimless spec journey. If 6:2:1.5 is the sweet spot, let me know.

So why is it a variation with cognac from the original recipe? I think I prefer with jus straight Irish whiskey

Delightful. Refreshing and not sweet. Very well balanced. The cognac adds a nice counter balance to the Irish Whiskey.

Interesting and flavorful cocktail. Is there any history for this cocktail?

Not much that I know of but I've added a reference to Embury above. Please let us know if you uncover anything.
