Bobby Burns

Named for the Scottish poet, this pre-Prohibition classic builds on a foundation of blended Scotch, its smoky sweetness amplified by sweet vermouth and a measured pour of Bénédictine. The herbal liqueur adds honeyed complexity and a subtle spice that lifts the drink beyond a simple whisky-vermouth pairing. The result is malty, aromatic, and warming—a dignified sipper with just enough bitterness to keep the sweetness in check.
