Aside from Scotch, my main drink for quite a few years now has been a Manhattan with Makers Mark. Out of curiosity I looked up different recipes today and saw the suggestion of Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey as an alternative to Makers.
Picked some up - and it's cheap at about $12 a bottle - and have to say it makes a better Manhattan than Makers. I picked up new vermouth and have been experimenting with different levels of sweet, dry, bitters and a bit of cherry juice.
If you're looking for cheap rye whiskey, check this stuff out -
Apparently there's a big argument amongst Manhattan drinkers about whether rye whiskey or bourbon is better. Just like the gin vs vodka martini argument I guess!

Not a big whiskey drinker myself, but from what I hear Makmyra is suppose to really good - and it's Swedish!

mg33...even though you disagree with me about Kentucky being the bourbon whiskey capital of the universe...even though...I share your drink of choice. Makers Manhattan...yum.
Last night a few of my friends asked me why I drink an old man drink. Ha!
I also discovered Makers + Gingerale = delicious.

Bourbon is the official spirit of the United States via Congress, as of 1964

If you like Jameson you gotta try Powers Irish Whiskey. I have tried most major brands and for the money this is by far the best. It's about the same price as Jameson but WAY smoother. You could compare it to a high end scotch for ease of drinking.
