Went back to the original version. I can see the reason for tweaking back the rye and Luxardo, but I really enjoyed the directness of the rye and sweet fruity maraschino. Very warming and flavoursome. Room for both versions I guess.

Further experimentation with this one. It really is a cracker of a cocktail and allows for play 😉. Sazerac rye and carpano this evening. 10ml Luxardo is spot on. Definitely a favourite Manhattan.

On the rocks was also excellent!

Dumb question: If serving on rocks, would you build in the glass or stir in mixing glass with ice first and then pour over ice in a rocks glass? I'm guessing the latter if you want to dilute and chill right off the bat.
