Nice drink. I used Johnnie Walker Black & Dolin Rouge. Everything is well-balanced. Great option if you're in the mood for smoke, but not too much.

Upfront, I thought it was going to be too sweet; however, the Scotch and the bitters soon took over for a nice finish. Very enjoyable

I didn't know there were at least three variations of this cocktail, and one with Drambuie. I haven't found enjoyable enough cocktails with Drambuie, although I've used half a bottle trying, but this one was very good for me. I used .75 Talisker 10, .75 Monkey Shoulder, 2/3 Carpano Sweet Vermouth, .25 Drambuie, & 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters with a lemon twist & a Luxardo cherry.

There's a minor typo in the "History" section, "Rob Rob" for "Rob Roy." But the drink itself is lovely--this spec, as given or lightly modified, allows the spirit to shine more clearly than many Bobby Burns builds. This might become my go-to for this cocktail when using single malts in general, but especially for subtle or delicate expressions.

Ok, Angostura is probably wrong here, but instead of Peychaud's I like the way Bitter Truth Creole Bitters play with the Drambuie. I upped the Drambuie a bit to proportions of 6:3:1. This also calls for a Luxardo on a cocktail sword.

Very nice cocktail. I adjusted to 1.5 scotch (glenfiddich), .5 sweet vermouth. .25 drambuie, dash peychauds. A good one for experimentation

The Drambuie is only nuanced. I could go for a bit more. At least now.

Thanks Simon. You had myslef, my liver and my Dr very worried for a moment! Definitely a great feature though. Tracking units for cocktails is a pain.
