In any case, Don Draper's favorite tipple is rye, and the cocktail he usually gets is the Old Fashioned. I do love me an Old Fashioned, and have started making them at home. I've been using Rittenhouse 100 Proof Bottled In Bond Rye, since it was highly rated in my quick Google search for "rye reviews" and it's quite cheap - $20 for 750 mL. I really like my Rittenhouse Old Fashioneds.

What is your favorite brand of rye?
I go with Wild Turkey Rye. Makes for a nice Manhattan.
