I have some Knob Creek 100 proof rye.
Other than an ice cube, what type of drinks would you recommend I make with this?
Bartender last night mentioned a Sazerac would go well with this, which sounds good.
He also said a Manhatten, but to cut back on the vermouth a bit, and to use something like Fee Brothers barrel aged bitters to accentuate the rye.
I'm probably not going to spend $20 on those bitters though, so looking for other opinions.
On another note, making some chocolate bitters here at the house. We'll see how that works out, recipe is the chocolate one here -

The jars smell great, they'll be ready to try Sunday.
