No evidence of notability. I found a few sources, but they are just recipes, not significant coverage. Kendall-K1 (talk) 18:53, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree with Kendall, who I'm assuming is not Irish. This drink is a classic whiskey cocktail well known in Ireland and supported by Irish Mist and Bushmills some of the biggest drinks brands in Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irishwhiskey (talk • contribs) 14:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't think there's a WP:NCOCKTAIL so the question for this is: are cocktail recipes in otherwise WP:RS sufficient for WP:GNG notability? Based on other cocktail articles, I think there is arguably a precedent that they are. I realize this sounds like a WP:OTHERSTUFF argument, but this objection could apply to the vast majority of a huge number of articles and even a cocktail as standard and established as the Rob Roy has similar references. If this is unacceptable under WP:NOTE then we need a widely-advertised RFC about the entire class instead of random individual AfD's to change it.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: How do we define a notable cocktail?

Comment Generally I would think this would have to fit the same criteria as cultural topics in general, including food. Maybe someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink could help? Dysklyver 12:01, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or (second choice) Merge with Irish Mist. As well as the sources already in the article, I found promising sources here and here, and I repeat my observation that coverage for food and drink in reliable sources is generally limited compared to other topics.
