The Better (Best) Manhattan Cocktail

Follow this recipe for a Black Manhattan whiskey cocktail and thank us later..

Our take here at Sabbatical is the classic Manhattan is pretty solid, but could be much better. Swap out the standard issue vermouth for a slightly sweet, slightly herbacious amaro and boom — this is delicious whiskey cocktail we turn to again and again. Of course, its’ best made with Sabbatical Whiskey and for this particular style we recommend testing it out with one of our French Oak barrel finished whiskeys such as our Madeira Cask Finished Straight Bourbon, or bump up the proof with our single barrel Double Oak Bourbon. However you choose, try this new spin on the Manhattan and thank us later.

Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged in new American oak barrels & finished in a French oak cask that previously held Madeira Wine. This limited barrel finished expression is back following the quickly sold out debut batch last year. Aged over 6 years and bottled at a robust 46% ABV.

Rich flavor and a supple mouth feel give this sipping whiskey a balanced profile that goes down easy. Discover notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of zesty citrus and bright french oak. Open, sip and enjoy this complex bourbon that’s one-of-a-kind.
