Hercules Mulligan has released its newest ready-to-drink release, Eyr & Rye, a limited-edition Irish-American Manhattan.
Similar to the Rum & Rye, the brand wanted to add an Irish twist to the classic Manhattan cocktail to honor the man the brand is named for. It is a blend of four spirits, including three American Rye whiskies and one Irish Whiskey, with a touch of cherry bitters and all-natural sweet and sour cherry juice.
“We had a few goals for our next RTD product, and one of those goals was to further explore classic whiskey cocktails,” said Hercules Mulligan Co-Founder Steve Luttmann. “The Ery & Rye is a bottled Manhattan, which we feel is a natural next step for the brand. We started with Rum & Rye, a bottled Old Fashioned, and the Manhattan is not only a classic cocktail, but a classic rye cocktail. We found that the combination of Rye Whiskey and Irish Whiskey works really well together.”
Noah Rothbaum, Flaviar’s Head of Cocktails & Spirits added, “Hercules Mulligan keeps reinventing the bottled cocktails category and its new limited-edition Eyr & Rye is an innovative blend of two whiskey stalwarts.”
Hercules Mulligan will release just 2,000 bottles in the first batch of the Eyr & Rye, available exclusively on Flaviar. It is available now for $45.
