Hochstadter's "Slow and Low" Rock and Rye.

[ethangsmith]

This new product hit the shelves of the state stores a few months ago here in PA, and d*** is it good! 6 year old rye, horehound, honey, rock candy, and citrus peels all at a good 98 proof. This is TOTALLY different than the Jacquin's or Mr. Boston stuff. It's very lightly sweetened and it reminds me almost of some of the herbal teas I've had over the years. When my seasonal flu or cold comes around, I will use this as medication! This product is supposedly a reenactment of a pre-pro product from Philly and it is very unlike anything else out there. I would suggest getting a bottle for those times you want something sweet, yet out-of-the-ordinary to sip.

Sounds great. We get in the British candy shops here something called horehound candy, I'll bet you could infuse that in rye whiskey and add honey, citrus peel and more sugar if needed.

A good rock and rye is great on its own as a specific or mixed with regular whiskey 50/50. Will watch for this one.

They have a track record, Cooper Spirits, same folks who bring us St. Germain. I'll certainly buy a bottle to try. So, another LDI rye out in the wild ?
