Robert Roy MacGregor, the infamous 17th-century outlaw was Scottish through and through. Most likely, he would have been a little bothered that the classic cocktail named after him was invented in the USA. Well, it doesn't matter really where it was invented. We are still drinking it thanks to our guest today, the National Brand Ambassador of Glenfiddich.
I’m Susan Schwartz, your drinking companion, and this is Lush Life Podcast, every week we are inspired to live life one cocktail at a time by the best in the industry.
Alex Walker may not be from Scotland originally but that doesn't mean he doesn't know a thing or two about Scottish whisky. His accomplishments speak for themselves, and after stints at the Savoy Beaufort Bar and the Artesian in London, plus winning too many of world’s toughest cocktail competitions to mention here, Rob Roy would definitely be happy with Alex’s version of his eponymous cocktail.
Of course, our Cocktail of the Week is the Rob Roy!
