Ok, here are the recipes where it does not specify beyond "blended whisky"
(all the other recipes are very specific as far as rye, scotch, canadian, or
irish- which is why I find it strange it leaves these kinda vague.) I will
leave out the measurements cause they don't seem relevent to the question and
would take forever to type I think.
ALSO another generalization I am confused about- I have Angostura bitters and
Orange bitters. If a recipe calls for just "bitters"- which should I use!?

use for these drinks as long as it is blended.
Thanks again,
