Rye has certainly become trendy in the past few years, and there are some wonderful craft-distilled brands on the market, included Old Potrero, Sazerac and Black Maple Hill. But when it comes to value purchases, I was torn between Rittenhouse Rye ($17) and Wild Turkey's 101-proof rye ($22). In the end, I went with Wild Turkey, an old favorite. Try it in your Manhattan and be amazed by the difference.
