Rob Roy

[phlip]

Flying home from Morrocco I scored a bottle of JW Red in duty free. It came in a plastic flask shaped bottle and provided just the inflight service a nuerotic needed crossing an ocean. Back home pricepoint wise its neck and neck with Famous Grouse. Taste wise I won't say there is no comparison, unfortunately for JW Red there is and lets just say I only touch the Red now for two reasons. One it exist in my bar because it was ordered before I took over ordering and we haven't run out of it, and two because some fool orders it over the other better 30 scotches at their disposal.

That's odd: JW Red was eight bucks more than the Famous Grouse I just picked up at the store here.

Used it to make a Rob Roy, of course:

2 oz Famous Grouse

1 1/4 oz Carpano Antica

3 dashes Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged Aromatic Bitters

About this drink I shall not grouse.
