I don't think that example is on the same line as what we are discussing. I 
Myself, and maybe Darren, feel that the Sour part of the name Whiskey Sour is 
not as set in stone as people seem to think it is. 

Rob Roy is a Manhattan specified with scotch, and is not about the taste. It 
was probably more to do with using the name "rob roy" as the name of a 
Cocktail.


On a seperate note, I would rate Tom Bullock higher than Jerry Thomas.
