In this modern take on an old-timey American classic, young rye whiskey is mixed with rock candy sugar, sour cherries, cinnamon and touch of citrus to create a spirit that's both a cocktail in a bottle and also an amazing ingredient for mixology. Mr. Katz refers not only to New York Distilling founder Allen Katz, but also to his grandfather who was a big rock & rye fan, and the young Mr. Katz's inspiration for trying his hand at this modern re-invention.
