As we head into fall, we’re ready to reach for some of our favorite cocktails to carry us into the cooler days ahead. One of those favorites is our take on the Bobby Burns, a classic Scotch-based relative of the Manhattan with more than a century of history behind it.
One of the earliest known appearances of the Bobby Burns dates to the early 1910s at the Big Brass Rail inside New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, with the cocktail later finding its way into Harry Craddock’s 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. Named for beloved Scottish poet Robert “Rabbie” Burns, the drink has endured as a fitting celebration of Scotch, tradition, and thoughtful cocktail craftsmanship.
Our version combines our own RR House Blended Scotch, 10-Year Islay Scotch, Punt e Mes, , Abbott’s Bitters, salt tincture, and aromatic lemon oils for a rich, warming, and beautifully layered sip.
And if you’re looking to make it extra special, try our President’s Version, featuring 30-Year Single Malt Scotch.
Here’s to crisp evenings, cozy pours, and cocktails made for the season.
Cheers to you!
