CLASSIC · SCOTCH WHISKY

Dry Rob Roy

The ratio is key here - too much dry vermouth and the whisky gets lost; too little and the drink becomes flat and one-dimensional.

From the Bartender

The ratio is key here - too much dry vermouth and the whisky gets lost; too little and the drink becomes flat and one-dimensional. A 3:1 ratio of Scotch to dry vermouth is the sweet spot, and a blended Scotch works beautifully, though a lightly peated expression adds compelling depth.
