The Rye Manhattan, Ready to Pour
Where the Old Fashioned in this line leans on Bulleit's bourbon, the Manhattan goes rye — the classic pairing, since rye's spice stands up to sweet vermouth the way bourbon sometimes can't. Retailer copy describes "clean, satiny, and woody notes of straight rye whiskey with sweet vermouth and bitters," developed alongside the Old Fashioned as the two launch expressions of Bulleit's Crafted Cocktails collection.
Tasting Notes
Rye spice, vanilla, and oak on the nose; a satiny palate of woody rye, sweet vermouth richness, and aromatic bitters; a clean, warming finish. It drinks like a properly stirred Manhattan — balanced, not candy-sweet.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled or over ice with a cherry, straight from the bottle. It pairs naturally with the Bulleit Crafted Old Fashioned from the Bulleit shelf — buy both and run your own two-cocktail tasting.
