I love Rittenhouse <3 Learned about it on 12bottlebar.com, though I was always finnicky about rye... I absolutely lurv in my Manhattans!
What did you buy at the liquor store today?

Today I made run to replace my rye, light rum and orange liqueur. Sadly, Binny's has been out of Rittenhouse 100 for a couple of months now, so I just got the Old Overholdt since Redemption Rye was little more than I wanted to spend today, and everything else looked suspicious... I decided to try Mount Gay Eclipse Silver, and then taste test it next to the Don Q Cristal I've been using (it seems to get pretty good reviews, so I suspect it will be much better.) I also picked up a few new items today so that I can experiment: I haven't had any 151 around here before, so I've just been subbing aged rum when I want make a drink that calls for it. VERY excited to try the Lemon Harts!
It was a little painful spending the (substantial) extra money on the Green Chartreuse, but I have a feeling it will be worth the investment.
Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone on mixing with these things? I'm trying to step out of my safe little Manhattan/Sidecar/Daquiri zone...
