From the Bartender

The Bobby Burns is essentially a Scotch Rob Roy elevated by Benedictine - use a blended Scotch for approachable sweetness or a lightly peated single malt for a smokier, more assertive character. Some classic recipes call for a full barspoon of Benedictine, so adjust to taste depending on how herbaceous you want the finish.
