Old Grandad is a bourbon, but it’s about a 30% rye mash bill, so it can be a nice middle ground. The Bottled in Bond version was really good when I could find it.
The Oriental cocktail was one of my favorite ways to have it other than straight up. It’s like a Manhattan and a Margarita had a baby.
1.5 oz rye
0.75 oz sweet vermouth
0.75 oz orange liquor
0.5 oz lime juice
Rye whiskey. Not as popular as bourbon, but there’s some decent ones here.
I like the Wild Turkey Rye.

Shake with ice and strain.
I’ll suggest Bulleit Rye for great tasting and won’t break the bank
