Mister Katz's Rock & Rye Whiskey
Mister Katz grew up on the B&O Railroad, spitting distance from the old Hannisville Distillery.
In the days before Prohibition, there was all manner of entertainment to keep a young man’s fancy: the ponies, chewing tobacco, malts at the drugstore and an evening’s treat of Rock & Rye.
An American classic, authentic Rock & Rye could once be found on the back bar of most noteworthy establishments. Over a century later, we proudly present Mister Katz’s Rock & Rye.
In service to the past and present, it marries our rye whiskey and rock candy sugar with sour cherries and Bing cherries, cinnamon and a wisp of citrus. Enjoy it neat, over ice or in a cocktail.

FLAVOR PROFILE
Rich, honeyed and gently spiced.
Zesty mandarin orange, ripe apricot, cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla lead into a lightly sweet but balanced palate.
Caramel and butterscotch bring richness before black pepper and rye spice carry through the finish.

An American classic
The original cocktail in a bottle.
Rock & Rye emerged in nineteenth-century America as a combination of rye whiskey, rock candy and fruit.
It became a fixture on saloon back bars and was even sold as a remedy for whatever happened to ail you. Prohibition nearly made it disappear.
Mister Katz’s brings it back, without the medicinal claims.
THE KATZ FAMILY
HE'S ALLEN. THEY'RE MISTER KATZ.
New York Distilling Company co-founder Allen Katz named Mister Katz’s Rock & Rye in honour of his father and grandfather, both Rock & Rye drinkers.
The name connects a distinctly American drinking tradition with the family that inspired its return.
