About this episode
We're heading back into the Cocktail College archive today as we dispel a myth — occasionally purported on this show — that there aren't that many classic Scotch cocktails. Purists will know that certainly isn't the case, and one need only turn to The Rob Roy for evidence. Adam Montgomerie, a Scottish native and bar manager at Hawksmoor New York, once again takes us on today's whisky, sweet vermouth, and bitters deep dive. Listen on (or read below) to discover Montgomerie’s Rob Roy recipe — and don’t forget to like, review, and subscribe!
