The article emphasizes the importance of using the right whiskey in a Manhattan cocktail. Bartenders recommend rye whiskey, highlighting its ability to provide essential spice and structure. Great Jones Rye is praised for its punchy spice and subtle flavor notes, while Rittenhouse and Willett 4-Year Rye are noted for their strong personalities that enhance the cocktail's profile. Overall, the focus remains on allowing the whiskey to shine through, maintaining the integrity of this classic drink.
The first rule of any Manhattan is that the cocktail should always showcase the whiskey first and foremost, recently I've been reaching for Great Jones Rye Whiskey.
It's my go-to for a reason, the 100-proof brings the right amount of heat and spice, giving the cocktail structure and backbone without overpowering the delicate balance.
