Mr Powers was correct that rye tastes different - at this very early stage, my unsophisticated palate would call it more "flavorful" than the Seagrams or Johnnie Walker that I had been comparing. Rye also tasted stronger. It may take some tweaking to find the best recipe for rye - I tend to like my Manhattans a little sweeter than most.

A sweet Manhattan?! You definitely would have to adjust the recipe. You would be drinking a real Manhattan made the way they were intended with the original recipe.
Rye is definitely more flavorful than Walker's offerings. Last time I had Black Label, I was taken aback by the water like taste of it. :eusa_doh: [huh] I guess I have been drinking rye and scotch quite a while.
Rye is a bit stronger tasting but it is also more spicy and worth getting to know in its many forms.
