Typically described as a Manhattan made with blended Scotch instead of bourbon or rye, the Rob Roy can take many forms depending on the base whiskey, vermouth, bitters and garnish used. Here, Anu Apte-Elford, sticks to the standard two-to-one ratio, calling on Bank Note blended Scotch, with its long finish, as the base.
