Hochstadter’s Vatted Straight Rye Whiskey

Hochstadter’s Vatted Straight Rye Whiskey is a 100-proof rye made via a process known as vatting—a method traditionally used in Scotch production where single-malt whiskies are blended together without the addition of grain spirit. Founder Robert Cooper sourced five different straight ryes from around the country (and Canada), aged 4 to 18 years, to blend together to make Hochstadter’s. It’s an intense, spicy whiskey with plenty of complexity, perfect for mixing into cocktails thanks to its high-proof.
