Rock and Rye: Whiskey for the younger crowd

The drink references a 19th-century cocktail, the Rock and Rye, which was rye, sweetened with rock candy. While whiskey has long been the tipple of older men, Slow & Low’s marketing campaign of beautiful women with languid gazes and its flavour profile of orange, honey and rye are designed to appeal to younger customers. The more mellow-tasting drink is as good served straight as it is in a cocktail, which is ideal for the under-30s.
