Among pre-mixed cocktails I've sampled, this ranks quite high. To my palate, the flavors aren't overwhelming, nor is it too sweet. The Bourbon's presence isn't diminished. With its 75 proof, a single serving suffices for unwinding with a cigar, and it stores well in the refrigerator for subsequent enjoyment. This, along with its counterpart, The Old Fashion (in the orange bottle), are currently two of my go-to selections for a swift, undiluted mixed drink to simply savor.

Precisely as advertised. I appreciate that they used the rye to add spice to this drink. Sweet vermouth is very prominent but helps reduce the rye's heat, and bitters provide that complete Manhattan flavor. Ideal for gatherings.
Doesn't really appeal to me; something feels off. The proof seems acceptable, but I didn't find this enjoyable, particularly when measured against Bulleit's ready-to-drink old fashioned.
I was pleasantly surprised by this ready-to-drink. It's great when I want a drink but don't want to put in the effort.
I don't enjoy Rye
Put in two cherries.
