Production & Heritage

The Club Distilling Co., based in Greendale, Indiana, has been producing spirits since 1892, giving it one of the longer track records among American distilling operations. The Club Manhattan follows a straightforward formula: premium blended whiskey is combined with vermouth and a measure of bitters, then canned at 17% ABV. The 200ml format is designed as a single-serve portion, eliminating the need for measuring, mixing, or sourcing individual ingredients — just pour over ice and garnish.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose reflects its core components — blended whiskey warmth layered with the herbal, slightly sweet character of vermouth. Subtle bitter undertones round out the initial impression.

Taste: On the palate, the whiskey base provides a soft grain sweetness at entry, transitioning into the botanical and spiced qualities contributed by the vermouth and bitters at mid-palate. The 17% ABV keeps the profile approachable and balanced rather than spirit-forward.

Finish: The finish is moderate in length with lingering herbal and lightly bitter notes. A gentle whiskey warmth persists without heaviness.

How to Drink Club Manhattan

The most straightforward serve is poured over a large ice cube or fresh ice in a rocks glass, finished with a cocktail cherry or an orange twist. Because this is already a complete cocktail, it requires no additional mixing. For a twist, use it as a base in a Manhattan Up — simply strain over ice and serve in a chilled coupe. Try a Perfect Manhattan riff by adding a small splash of dry vermouth to shift the balance drier. It also works in a Rob Roy variation when served alongside Scotch-forward appetizers, letting the premixed blend serve as a lighter complement.
