After reading the comments went for punt e mes. Lovely. Slight sweetness but balanced by the herbal notes and the richness of the whisky.

slightly sweet, slightly herbal, slight syrupy manhattan. not bad, but as much as i love chartreuse, i think i'll stick to an OG manhattan

Well, I will never make a High Ryeser again! This is much more to my liking! The flavors combined perfectly for me. I used Redemption rye and Pages Jaune for the yellow chartreuse. Just plain Martini Rosso for the vermouth.

Nice but the chartreuse drowns out the other components more than I was expecting. Heavy on the herbal, licorice, and mint. Perfect amount of sweetness.

Rounding the rye up to 4:1:1 proportions is still plenty sweet and still has plenty of yellow Chartreuse in it. And McIlroy is right, the yellow Chartreuse works better with a lemon twist. Next time I'm going to try replacing the orange bitters with a dash of lemon bitters. A distinctive Brooklyn/Manhattan variation.

Made per spec only swapping Regan's orange bitters for Ango orange. (In recipes that call for both Ango Aromatic and orange bitters, I think Regan's works better). I chose Rittenhouse Rye, which is a favorite. This is an outstanding drink, one of my favorite Manhattan variations.. I don’t find this overly sweet but that’s likely down to individual taste preferences. I highly recommend the Cocchi di Torino. Antica formula brings too much vanilla to the drink and upsets the balance.

This is also great with Strega substituting for the Yellow Chartreuse. If the Italian Dandy cocktail is too sweet for you, try this instead.

Drink this one annually when the air starts to get cool & crisp. I usually use Punt e Mes in place of sweet vermouth

Tried first time as per recipe and second as per your version. I think I prefer it with Punt e Mes!

Very nice and not as sweet as I anticipated, which is a good thing. Complex and dangerously drinkable, actually. Whistlepig Piggyback 96.5 proof rye, Dolin Rouge and Dolin Genepy le Chamois (as I'm out of Yellow Chartreuse).
