From the Bartender
Rye whiskey is the traditional and preferred base for a Manhattan - its spice and dryness cut through the sweetness of vermouth far more effectively than bourbon, which can make the drink cloying. Always stir, never shake: this is a spirit-forward cocktail that should be silky and clear, not aerated or cloudy.
