I prefer my beloved Canadian whisky for my manhattans. Right now, the whisky of choice is CC Sherry Cask, with the much talked about Vya vermouth, and lately I've been using Fee Brother West Indies Orange for the bitter.

on the spicy nature of rye.

Interesting on the CC. I will give another chance and see if it works for me. Almost always willing to try something new in a cocktail so long as not sweet.

I completely agree with you. I tried BMH's Small Batch Bourbon and found it very uninspiring. This was after I had their 18 year rye which I thought was exquisite. Still one of my favorites even though I'm more of a Scotch drinker.

On the lower end, I got both the Wild Turkey 101 Rye and the Russell's Reserve Rye and found the latter to have a bit less edge (and a lot more vanilla). I would love to see a RR bottled at the same proof of 101, but as it stands, I would lean towards the WT101 for future purchases.

Rye, you mean? The dried chocolate note that dominates it is awesome, but not something you want in exclusivity.

What?
Yes, "rye whiskey" as in whiskey made of rye. I've had many rye whiskies but this is far greater than anything i've encountered yet.
