  • Very good
  • Spirit forward and rye takes the front seat in a good way. The several supporting ingredients compete in a way that leads to this both tasty and somewhat muddled & unremarkable.
  • Not bad, emphasizes the spice on the rye, but not overly differentiated in profile.
  • Made using old Red Carpet recipe: A pleasant Manhattan-esque cocktail. Made with Carpano Antica. Used Wild Turkey rye. Rittenhouse would probably be more rye-forward. Made with Carpano Antica. Try Punt e Mes next time.
