The Manhattan first appeared in print in O.H. Byron's “The Modern Bartenders’ Guide” in 1884 and is a true classic. We love this drink for its harmony, balancing just the right amount of sweet, rich, bitter and spice. Like any classic, you respect what makes it great — that's why we use the time-tested Manhattan recipe featuring sweet vermouth, a dash of aromatic bitters and our bourbon and rye whiskeys. Barrel aging isn't classic but adds depth and complexity. For that reason, we let our Manhattan age in used rye barrels to fully marry the flavors. Worth the wait. We hope you enjoy this most intricate rendition of a true classic.
