The 11 Best Ryes for an Old FashionedWith fall in full swing, we’ve been on quite a rye kick lately. First we did a deep dive on what sets rye apart from other whiskey, and then we explored seven classic rye cocktails, including the Manhattan. Today, though, we’re turning our attention to the most iconic whiskey cocktail of all time — the Old Fashioned. A good Old Fashioned starts with a high-quality rye. The best options are well structured with some grainy heft, balanced spice and real depth of flavor. We’ve chosen 11 that we happily turn to when the mood strikes — some are affordable, some are less so. All of them are extremely delicious and deserving of a place on your bar cart. And if you’re still looking to perfect your Old Fashioned recipe, this is a good place to start. |
