Vanilla, cracked pepper, and oak give Exclave Small Batch Rye the kind of definition a Manhattan needs. Aged at least three years and bottled at 90 proof, it keeps its spice in view alongside sweet vermouth.
Start neat if you want to taste the whiskey on its own, or reach straight for your mixing glass. Exclave's New Orleans roots and focus on Black spirits history give the bottle a story beyond the recipe.
