Hochstadter's Slow & Low Proper Rye Old Fashioned (75cl, 42%)

This is a ready-to-serve Old Fashioned cocktail made with straight rye whiskey and bitters, in a 75cl bottle at 42% abv. The label carries an Extra Dry marking and describes it as America's original bottled cocktail since 1884. It is built to be poured over ice with an orange twist, with a spice-forward character from the rye. The nose offers orange peel, rye spice, caramel and bitters with a light baking spice note. The palate is rich and full, with candied orange, caramel sweetness and herbal bitters. The finish is smooth and warming, with rye spice, citrus and a classic bitter edge.
