Manhattan fans: Blended whisky, Rye, or Bourbon?

Just settling in my comfortable chair after a particularly long day catching up at work.

I was standing in front of the cart and couldn't decide how I wanted my manhattan (my current cocktail of choice). I had both a bottle of "blending" rye and "blending" bourbon in front of me. I selected rye and, as always, enjoying the experience.

So.... how do you roll your own manhattan, or order it at a bar? I don't do the blended whisky, opting for rye or Knob Creek (I love the punch). I'm also a half sweet/half dry, and two shots of bitters kinda guy.

Cheers to FT on a warm Saturday night!
