Amberfire Premium Malt Rob Roy Cocktail

The malt Rob Roy cocktail is a refined reinterpretation of the classic Rob Roy — a drink traditionally made with Scotch whisky. Here, we elevate it with Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit, handcrafted in Wallan, Victoria. The result is a balanced, velvety cocktail perfect for sipping slowly and savouring the depth of flavour.

Where a Manhattan uses rye or bourbon, the malt Rob Roy cocktail substitutes with a malt spirit for a smoother, rounder edge. Amberfire’s small-batch distillation and malt-forward character bring richness without heaviness, making this version of the Rob Roy both complex and approachable.

Whether you’re a fan of stirred, spirit-forward cocktails or simply exploring new malt-based variations, the malt Rob Roy cocktail is a sophisticated way to enjoy Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit.

Ingredients

• 45ml Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit

• 25ml sweet vermouth

• 2 dashes Angostura bitters

• Garnish: Maraschino cherry or orange twist

Method

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently for 20–30 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted. Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.

The Amberfire Premium Malt Spirit’s round, aromatic flavour balances the bittersweet vermouth and subtle spice of Angostura bitters. A maraschino cherry adds a traditional touch, while an orange twist gives the drink a citrus lift. Choose based on your preference.
