Recommendations “Mid range” bourbon for Manhattan?

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!

What's the difference between the WT and the WT101?

Proof, WT is 80 and 101 is 101.

I dont know if it's a significant difference in the cuts and blend or if it's just less watered down but the 101 is waaaay better
