Jim Beam Rye? Seriously? I mean no shade on Jim Beam but there are far better and authentic Ryes to make a fancy Manhattan that are equivalent cost. And WTF is the point of the perfect ice cubes that come in their own plastic wrapper if you aren't going to use them in the drink?!
Jim Beam deserves all the shade. It tastes like someone pissed in an old gas can.
The Jim Beam distillery makes plenty of solid bourbon and rye. The one shown in the OP is rail level shit though.
Example - Knob Creek 12 and 9 reserve SiB are some of the best $50ish bourbons out there. Made by the Jim Beam distillery.
Mmmm a couple of fingers of Knob Creek 9 or 12, neat, with a glass of good flat mineral water on the back is a great way to watch the sun go down on my pool deck after a long ass day.
