Hochstadter’s Slow & Low
As a pharmaceutical drink‚ it was used to snuff coughs‚ colds‚ sore throats‚ bronchitis‚ asthma‚ pneumonia‚ consumption‚ sniffles‚ grippes and chills‚ diseases of the throat‚ chest and lungs. No ailment great or small was immune to rock and rye’s therapeutic might. Later‚ as men reacquired a taste for it and began drinking it for pleasure again‚ it became an American standard‚ prepared and bottled by distillers and bootleggers alike as it migrated back from the pharmacy to the bar.
Hochstadter’s has a mellow, slightly sweet flavor — the notes of spicy rye are nicely balanced with the sweet flavors of citrus, grapefruit and rock candy. Bottled at 84 proof, it has a smooth, long finish with hints of honey and orange.

Hochstadter’s Slow & Low: Where Rye Meets Old-World Charm
Hochstadter’s Slow & Low isn’t a simple flavored whiskey; it’s a gateway to an era of classic cocktails and handcrafted spirits. Inspired by the pre-Prohibition tradition of Rock and Rye, this bottled spirit evokes the warmth and sophistication of a bygone time.
What is Rock and Rye?
Before mass-produced, flavored liqueurs filled bar shelves, bartenders concocted their own elixirs to enhance classic cocktails. Central to this was Rock and Rye:
- The Rye Backbone: Robust rye whiskey provided a complex foundation with warm spice notes.
- Sweetness Meets Bitterness: Rock candy (crystallized sugar) added sweetness, while citrus rind and spices introduced herbal complexities.
- Medicinal Reputation: This wasn’t just a tasty drink; many believed it held medicinal qualities, especially during the cold winter months.

- Straight Rye Whiskey: Provides the bold, peppery warmth, and structure that forms the spirit’s core.
