  • An easy-going Rob Roy. Nice with a single malt (Balvenie Doublewood) and Punt e Mes. Even more interesting using half Islay (Bowmore Legend). I think all Islay would be too much, but half Laphroaig Quarter Cask would be worth — ★★★

Imbibe suggests subbing Byrrh for the sweet vermouth and bitters, and adding a cherry to the garnish.
