What cocktail has whisky, sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth?

Cocktail Colin says:

quote start

If you're looking for a cocktail that combines whisky, sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth, one excellent choice is the Rob Roy. This classic cocktail is similar to a Manhattan but uses Scotch whisky instead of rye or bourbon. The combination of whisky with both sweet and dry vermouths creates a sophisticated and well-balanced drink with herbal and spice undertones. The addition of a dash of Angostura bitters enhances the complexity of flavors, resulting in a smooth and rich cocktail that's perfect for those who appreciate timeless drinks with depth and character.

Another great option that includes whisky and vermouth is the Affinity cocktail. This sophisticated drink blends whiskey and red vermouth to create a smooth and slightly sweet base, with herbal undertones from the vermouth. The addition of Angostura bitters adds depth and complexity to the drink, making it a refined option for those who enjoy a well-balanced taste with a touch of bite from the whiskey and a hint of sweetness from the vermouth.
