Flying Scotchman

Flying Scotchman cocktail

A delightful variation of the classic Rob Roy, the Flying Scotchman adds a touch of sugar syrup to the traditional pairing of Scotch whisky and sweet vermouth. This addition creates a slightly sweeter, smoother profile while maintaining the bold, herbal complexity of the spirits.
