The Rob Roy was created in the 1890's by a bartender at New York City's Waldorf Astoria hotel, commemorating the Broadway release of the operetta of the same name.   Essentially a Manhattan, but made with Scotch instead of Bourbon or Rye, the Rob Roy is favored among the "spirit-forward" crowd and was the the daily afterwork drink of radio legend Howard Stern's father, Ben.
