The Rob Roy cocktail is a Manhattan twist. Indeed the recipe is conceptually identical, except that scotch whiskey is used instead of rye whiskey.

It seems a minor difference, but the Rob Roy cocktail is very different and deserves some love. While the American rye is scurvy and rough-tasting whiskey, produced with water and rye (51% minimum) and then aged in oak barrels, the Scotch is marked by the net and mysterious hint of peat.

But you want only the best ingredients for your drinks, so use quality spirits and make yourself a lovely gift by buying a crafted Scotch single malt whisky. But no more talk, and let’s go to the original recipe for the Rob Roy cocktail, a great classic from the last century.
