Templeton Rye make a difference? Really? They have been successfully sued for being a false product. It's not made in Iowa like it bottle led people to believe, but rather in a huge factory (formerly Seagrams) in Indiana that makes generic Rye for many different bottlers.
I didn't have any rye on hand but made it with a nice bourbon, probably too nice to use in a mixed drink, but I was really in the mood for a Manhattan. It still turned out clean and dry. I'll get some rye for my next try.
My dad always made his manhattans with bourbon and dry vermouth, no bitters, he hated them, and maraschino cherries. I learned how to mix them for him when I was five. I can’t stand manhattans myself.

Hey John, It may be a miss used marketing ploy but boy is it a good whiskey!
The vermouth choice is far more consequential than the rye. My preferred brand is already too hard to find, so I'm selfishly mum on specific recommendations. But I will say this: Shop around! There is much to discover beyond Dolin and Punt e Mes!
