Barrelsmith Manhattan 100 ml

Barrelsmith Manhattan is a bottled, pre-mixed Manhattan built on rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three months before bottling. That barrel-aging step is unusual for a ready-to-drink cocktail and is meant to marry the three components together the way a bartender's batched, barrel-aged Manhattan would, rather than simply blending and bottling. Expect a smooth, mellow Manhattan with rye spice softened by the vermouth's herbal sweetness and a rounder edge from the oak rest. It's a convenient way to get a barrel-aged Manhattan without doing the aging yourself.

How to drink Barrelsmith Manhattan

Pour it neat into a chilled coupe, or over a single large rock if you prefer it slightly diluted. A maraschino cherry or an orange peel both work as the classic garnish.
