International Scotch Day is on the 8th February where everyone can join in and celebrate Scotch whisky.
Uisge beatha / The Water of Life / Scotch Whisky has been around for over 500 years; the Exchequer Rolls, the tax records of their time, in 1494 was the earliest documented record of distilling in Scotland. We thought we’d join in the celebration of Scotch whisky with a cocktail this evening.
We’ve already made the Rob Roy cocktail, which was named after Scottish folk hero Rob Roy. Looking for an alternative, we decided upon the White Rob Roy.
This was originally created by Howard Sundwall, a member of Difford’s Guide as the Rob Roy en Blanc (Rob Roy in White), before Simon Difford varied it, by reducing the Scotch by 10ml, into the White Rob Roy.
