Rob Roy is a variation of Manhattan; instead of bourbon or rye, use scotch whisky.
I came across two stories about this drink. The first one is that it was served first in 1894 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, and the second one is that it was served three years later, in 1897, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York.
