With thanks to Bob Cook, a Discerning Drinker, who on 27th October 2020 left a comment with the recipe for this delicious high-proof whiskey, equal parts...
I love a good Manhattan and always have Rye whiskey on hand, so what the heck, let's try this combo, said I! And I'm glad I did, as this was a delight!
I tend to use middle-shelf or even lower end Rye whiskey in my cocktails as I like my high-end stuff too much to drink as anything other than neat, but even with the lower grade Tincup I used, this was a treat. The vermouth dominated, but the Rye kept a pleasant, dry finish.
I did read the comments beforehand and added ice to mine in a rocks glass and it mellowed nicely. Will make this again. And likely again.
