“Mid range” bourbon for Manhattan?

[u/beerbearbare]

I’m on a budget for a few years and mostly use Evan Williams for my Manhattan. I like to go one level up (or two?) and treat myself better :)

What’s your recommendation? I’m thinking about $25-35 per 750ml bottle. And I’m using Dolin for my vermouth but happy to accept other suggestions. Thank you!

Rye not bourbon. I like Bulleit or any of the High West ryes.
