What we stock and what to recommend.
Back bar selections
- Rittenhouse 100 (well, $0.95/oz) — the workhorse. Goes in every house Manhattan and Old Fashioned ordered "with rye."
- Sazerac 6yr ($1.40/oz) — call upgrade. Spicier, longer finish.
- Pikesville 110 ($1.85/oz) — high-proof. For guests who ask for "something with backbone."
- Tinbal ($2.20/oz) — premium house pour. The base of The Lancey Coho.
- Michter's 10yr ($4.80/oz) — top shelf. Sip pour. Never goes in a mixed drink.
How to recommend
"Rye is spicier than bourbon. If you like a drier, more peppered whiskey, you'll love this. We have it in classic builds — Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac — or you can sip it neat."
What rye is not
Rye is not bourbon. Don't substitute without asking. They drink different.
