Jeffersons The Manhattan 750 ml

Jefferson's The Manhattan is a straight bourbon finished by actually aging it inside barrels that once held a mixed Manhattan cocktail (bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters), part of Jefferson's ongoing cask-experimentation program. That unusual finishing process imparts vermouth and bitters character directly into the whiskey itself. Expect a nose of dried cherry, herbal spice, and vanilla, a rich, complex palate with vermouth-like botanical notes layered over bourbon sweetness, and a long, warm finish. It's a genuinely unusual bottle built for whiskey drinkers who already love a Manhattan.

How to drink Jefferson's The Manhattan

Drink it neat first to taste the built-in Manhattan character before deciding whether it even needs the cocktail treatment.
