High West's approach batches the cocktail at scale using both their bourbon and rye whiskeys — lending earthy-sweet corn notes from the bourbon and dry rye spice from the rye — then rests the blend in second-use rye whiskey barrels. The barrel time marries the components, rounds the vermouth's herbaceous edges, and integrates the bitters into the whiskey base to produce a cocktail with cohesion and smoothness that freshly mixed drinks rarely achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour chilled over a large ice cube and garnish with a Luxardo cherry — no stirring, no measuring required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black cherry fruit leather, stewed strawberries, orange peel, molasses, cinnamon bark, sage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherry turnover, spiced apples, sun-dried raisins, candied orange rind, rosemary, savory spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange pastry rolls, dark chocolate, dried fig\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e High West Distillery, Park City, Utah\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel Finished Pre-Batched Cocktail\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Bourbon + Straight Rye + Sweet Vermouth + Aromatic Bitters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43% (86 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years unopened; consume within 30 days of opening\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/american-whiskey\"\u003eAmerican whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow do I serve the High West Manhattan?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour chilled over a large ice cube or into a chilled coupe and garnish with a Luxardo cherry — no stirring or mixing required.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDoes barrel aging improve a pre-batched cocktail?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — second-use barrel aging rounds the vermouth's herbaceous edges, integrates the bitters, and produces a cohesion that freshly mixed cocktails take much longer to achieve.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it keep after opening?\u003c\/strong\u003e Consume within 30 days of opening; unopened bottles have a 3-year shelf life.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I serve the High West Manhattan?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Pour chilled over a large ice cube or into a chilled coupe and garnish with a Luxardo cherry — no stirring or mixing required.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does barrel aging improve a pre-batched cocktail?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — barrel aging rounds the vermouth's herbaceous edges, integrates the bitters, and produces a cohesion that freshly mixed cocktails rarely achieve.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does it keep after opening?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Consume within 30 days of opening; unopened bottles have a 3-year shelf life.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"High West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904237244487,"sku":"086003267121","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/large_High-Res-PNG-HWDManhattan7504093DBC.png?v=1782423845","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/high-west-manhattan-barrel-finished-cocktail","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
