WHY IS IT CALLED A ROB ROY?

The Rob Roy cocktail was named after an operetta that narrated the story of a great Scottish folk hero who supported the poor. The operetta debuted in New York City in the late 1800s, and a bartender at the nearby Waldorf Astoria Hotel created the cocktail for opening night and to publicise the play.

BEST SCOTCH FOR A ROB ROY?

The Rob Roy commands a rich and smooth Scotch that brings out the sweet and bitter flavour profile of this sophisticated serve. With its notes of crisp orchard fruits, wild heather and sweet honey, the multi award-winning Chivas 12 is the perfect Scotch to elevate the Rob Roy.
