Barrel-Aged Bottled Manhattan

Ready-to-drink bottled Manhattan cocktail — straight rye whiskey base (typically Sazerac Rye or similar 51%+ rye) pre-mixed with sweet vermouth and aromatic/Peychaud's bitters, then aged in oak barrels for several months to marry the components. Bottled at cocktail strength (~30% ABV). Serve neat, over ice, or up. Examples include Handy & Schiller Manhattan.
