Kate, I’ve tried the Templeton in a Manhattan, and it’s not my favorite. Too smooth in my opinion. Not enough rye “bite”. I’ll still do some Templeton for sipping now and again, but I’ve gone back to Russell’s Rye for cocktails.

My b-day present is going to be the Rittenhouse 23. Can’t wait.

Kate, if you’re still looking for the perfect vermouth to pair with Rittenhouse 100 in a Manhattan, it’s Vya Sweet Vermouth.

I finally tried the Templeton Rye and liked it. Though I think it should be at a higher proof, like maybe 90–94.

I sampled Templeton at a corner bar on Division Street in Chicago last month. When I got home to New York I went online and ordered two bottles. It’s the berries!

But how does it hold up in a Manhattan? I’d love it if you could report back. My current favorite Manhattan is Rittenhouse Rye, Angostura Bitters, Sweet Vermouth (still looking for the perfect vermouth) and Amarena cherries.

Used quite a bit of this as a mixer at our Repeal Day party last December. It was absolutely superb… but more than a little decadent. Beautiful when sipped straight. Nice review!

This stuff is simply amazing. While I do enjoy spicy, punchy ryes, I was blown away by how insanely smooth it is. I’ve been drinking it neat, and I don’t think I can bear to mix it.

Templeton is one of the ryes that got me into rye. I used to do a lot of work in Iowa and Templeton became my whiskey of choice when there. I haven’t had any in a while, though I have a friend who’s said she’ll bring me a bottle (case?) when she comes east…You’re lucky to score some!
