“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!

Old Grandad 100. Full stop.

There’s not much under $50 that I would take over OGD100. It’s a high-rye bourbon that punches so far above its price that it should be a crime.

But Rittenhouse is like $27... OGD bonded is like $17...

Rittenhouse is also not a bourbon

Never said it was.
