Manhattan

The bitters come through just enough to lift the whiskey without overpowering it, and the vermouth adds that smooth, mellow finish. Poured it over ice after a long week and it hit the spot exactly like the classic should.

The whiskey and vermouth balance is spot on—warm and rich without being too sweet. Poured it over a big ice cube after dinner and it felt like a proper nightcap.

The twist of bitters really comes through without overpowering the whiskey—it’s warm and rich, just like a proper Manhattan should be. I opened the box and mixed one up right away, and the balance of vermouth is spot on.
