History & Origins

Sour cocktails date to at least Jerry Thomas's 1862 bartending guide, which documented whiskey sours as a defined category. The application of the sour formula to Scotch whisky likely developed in both Scottish and American bar culture as bartenders adapted established recipes to local spirits. The Scotch Sour's origin is disputed, but it appears consistently in mid-20th century cocktail reference books.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Scotch malt and smoke with a fresh lime citrus note and a faint sweetness from the powdered sugar. Palate: Tart and citrus-forward from the lime juice, with Scotch's distinctive malt and light peat providing a complex base; powdered sugar softens the acidity. Finish: Dry and slightly smoky with lingering lime zest and Scotch warmth.

Pro Tip

Use a blended Scotch for a milder, more accessible Scotch Sour, or a lightly peated single malt for a more complex, smoky character.
