History

This cocktail was originally prepared by stirring two shots of Johnnie Walker King George V with one shot of Drambuie The Royal Legacy Of 1745 and one dash of Peychaud's aromatic bitters. This initial formulation truly exemplified a union of two British Royal brands, enhanced by an American element, resulting in an excellent drink.
