  • Sweet, with a bite at the back end from the dry vermouth. Tried this with Martini & Rossi dry vermouth; I suspect this would be better with the Doilin as suggested.

Rob Roy 2

2 oz Blended Scotch, Johnnie Walker Black Label
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
2 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir Scotch, vermouth, and bitters in a shaker with ice for 40 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Twist the lemon peel over the drink and drop it in.

Notes

Punt e Mes gives this variation on the classic a slightly bitter aspect. Need a strong-tasting blended Scotch, like Johnnie Walker Black with its whisps of peat, to stand up to the Punt e Mes.

MOJO1229 commented on 8/09/2016:

Not being a lover of peated drinks, but having an unopened 375 ml bottle of Johnny Walker Black on the shelf, I decided on a whim to try the Rob Roy 2--mostly because I like the traditional Rob Roy.

My thoughts on the drink? Not bad! Not great, but definitely not bad. The peat comes through despite the Punt e Mes, the orange bitters, and the lemon twist. People who enjoy peated cocktails will, in my opinion, enjoy this drink--especially late at night. Maybe that's why I rated it 4.0. It's now 11:20 PM, about another 40 minutes before bedtime.

Blunderbuss

2 oz Apple brandy, Black Dirt
1 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Orgeat, Tiki Adam's Toasted Orgeat (or honey syrup)
1⁄2 oz Ginger syrup (spicy)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 spg Mint (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake, strain over crushed ice in a Collins, garnish, serve with straw.

Notes

Black Dirt is a bonded apple brandy with a luscious, full body and a delicious flavor of apple candied with bourbon-y caramel and char. Compared to Laird's bonded, it is less hot and less thin, while the same proof and comparable in age.

  • Nice sour with mild pleasing funk from the rums. Bonal gets a bit lost despite the quantity beneath the lemon, rum funk, and chocolate. Made with Neisson Eleve Sous Bois, Smith and Cross, and Scrappy's chocolate.
  • Nice complexity of bitterness. Tang of lemon is just right. Goes quickly from rich to dry.

rtb178 commented on 4/23/2015:

This is an excellent drink.  The herbal bitterness of the Bonal complements the richness and floral notes of the rums, and the dash of lemon juice lifts it.  Very nice, thanks to the creator.

sevyryelsdorn commented on 2/09/2018:

The Bonal gets a bit lost for me beneath two powerfully flavored rum/rhums and the lemon, and I love Bonal. Perhaps a true amaro or a partial replacement with a pie spice amaro? Or perhaps Meletti and could forgo the chocolate bitters?

benjajinj commented on 1/25/2020:

Much better with 5ml rich demerara syrup, 3 dashes Peychaud's and 1 dash Ango, absinthe rinse and a discarded twist - i.e. a classics Sazerac spec with the base swapped out.
