Based on this Manhattan Taste Test, I should try Wild Turkey rye + Maurin as my next Manhattan combination...

 

I would discourage you from wasting money on the WT 81 proof rye and go for the 101 (which I know you already have, unless you feel an urge to do it for the sake of cocktail science and compare the two in which case I say go for it!). Don't know why exactly but the proof difference seems really important in terms of flavor with those two. The earlier WT101 was a perhaps even a bit better than the newer 101 that typically only comes in a liter bottle. But the current 101 works well in cocktails.
