I ranked Death’s Door whiskey as a 68/100 as a straight sipper, but at $40 a bottle for me (Northeast United States) there are better options for two twenties – so I was curious how it would do as a Manhattan.
The good news is that a bit of vermouth did take off the rough edges of this Death’s Door whiskey.
The bad news is that at over $40 a bottle, there are just better options out there, meaning this only improved by e a few points as a mixer. A Death’s Door Manhattan scored a 74/100.
