Caol Ila 12 Year Old Whisky, 70 cl
Regular price £50.49
Subdued, citric fruitiness. A fresh and appetising nose, with little or no trace of smoke, but believe me it's there, but mainly on the palate where it is light, fragrant and very pleasant indeed. Read more.

Description
It was Hector Henderson who originally brought the Caol Ila whiskies to the World in 1846. From there to now has not been an easy ride however. The distillery has endured numerous changes in ownership (it is currently owned by Diageo) and closures for all sorts of reasons. Since 1974, when demand for whisky recovered, it has been on a much surer footing though.

Rob Roy Cocktail Recipe
If there was ever a cocktail to make you feel the glitz and glamour of the history and chic society of New York, it's ordering a Rob Roy Cocktail. This 19th century cocktail is believed to have been created at New York City’s Waldorf Hotel (if you want to visit today, you can head to the Waldorf Astoria). But who is Rob Roy? The cocktail is named not after the Scottish folk hero and outlaw Robert Roy MacGregor, but after the Broadway show that was showing at the time. The Rob Roy is a riff on a Manhattan, with their only difference being the base liquor. A Rob Roy is made using blended Scotch Whisky while a Manhattan is made with Rye Whisky. As such, the cocktail is malty and smooth, with a bit of spice on the finishing end.
