About This Cocktail

Named after the legendary Scottish folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor, this cocktail was created in 1894 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York to commemorate the premiere of an operetta about the outlaw. It's essentially a Manhattan made with Scotch whisky instead of rye or bourbon, reflecting Scotland's national spirit.
