What Whiskey Makes the Best Manhattan?
Of course, we’re prejudiced. Bui there are thousands of Manhattan levers who will agree with us—that the very finest Manhattan Cocktail is the one that has Four Roses Whiskey as its base.
For Four Roses has that fragrance and mellowness that give a drink the full flavor and satiny smoothness that cocktail -connoisseurs seek.
You see, there’s no raw green whiskey in Four Roses. It is made today as it was in the old days—blended with the finest whiskies, aged by Father Time himself in charred oak barrels.
It costs more to make Four Roses this way, hut the extra cost is more than justified—in taste, in bouquet, and in the absence of headaches.
Four Roses is made by Frankfort Distilleries, America’s largest independent distilling organization. It comes bottled only in full measure packages, and sealed in the exclusive Frankfort Pack that makes tampering or adulteration impossible.
