Aside from Scotch, my main drink for quite a few years now has been a Manhattan with Makers Mark. Out of curiosity I looked up different recipes today and saw the suggestion of Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey as an alternative to Makers.
Picked some up - and it's cheap at about $12 a bottle - and have to say it makes a better Manhattan than Makers. I picked up new vermouth and have been experimenting with different levels of sweet, dry, bitters and a bit of cherry juice.

Apparently there's a big argument amongst Manhattan drinkers about whether rye whiskey or bourbon is better. Just like the gin vs vodka martini argument I guess!
