Liqueur
Mister Katz’s Rock & Rye Whiskey
A cocktail in a bottle. The unpretentious one.
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.

The Story
Mister Katz grew up on the B&O railroad, spitting distance from the old Hannisville Distillery — in the days before Prohibition, when an evening's treat was Rock & Rye on the back bar of every noteworthy establishment. A century later, ours marries youthful rye whiskey and rock candy sugar with sour cherries, cinnamon, and a wisp of citrus. We kept the recipe and dropped the medical claims.
