The Manhattan Project (Rye Based Cocktail)

Traditionalists insist that a Manhattan is made with American rye whiskey. But we know there is more to this story because in Louisville we make Manhattans with Bourbon or Canadian whisky. Because the Manhattan has so many variations, we often ask bartenders to make us their creative version of this classic cocktail. Delicious!

Our Manhattan Project tries to get to the bottom of the glass on this bourbon vs. rye debate. Challenge accepted! We decided to do a little taste test with the whiskeys we have in our liquor cabinet at the Whisky Chicks Loft.
