ROB ROY
Short & Strong
A Rob Roy is a Scottish version of a classic Manhattan. We’ve replaced the bourbon or rye in a Manhattan with Chivas, which gives this drink a unique twist. This whisky-forward drink heightens Chivas’ classic notes of honey with a luxurious, velvety finish.

ABOUT THE ROB ROY
The Rob Roy cocktail was named after an operetta about a great Scottish historical figure and folk hero. The operetta debuted in New York City in the late 1800s, and a bartender at the nearby Waldorf Astoria Hotel was inspired to create the cocktail.
BEST SCOTCH FOR A ROB ROY COCKTAIL
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.
