Distiller Notes
The High West Barrel-Finished Manhattan is their take on this true classic cocktail. They love this drink for its harmony, balancing just the right amount of sweet, rich, bitter, and spice. Like any classic, you respect what makes it great. That's why they use the time-tested recipe for a "perfect Manhattan" featuring sweet and dry vermouth, a few dashes of aromatic bitters, and High West bourbon and rye whiskeys. What isn't classic, but adds depth and complexity, is barrel aging. For that reason, they let this Manhattan age in used rye barrels to fully marry the flavors. Worth the wait. Enjoy this most intricate rendition of a true classic.

What Whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Coming in a multitude of styles depending on its origin, Whisk(e)y’s flavors range across the board from the sweet, caramel and vanilla-dominated American Bourbons to the briny, peat-heavy Islay Single Malts from Scotland. Though production methods differ widely, all Whiskeys are made by distilling beer made from some type of grain, such as barley, corn, wheat or rye. After the distillation process is complete, the new, clear spirit is transferred to wooden casks where it matures, a process that can take up to thirty years or more.
