Rod & Hammer's SLO Stills Cask Rye Whiskey 2 Year Old 750ml

Rod & Hammer's SLO Stills Cask Rye Whiskey 2 Year Old 750ml is a California straight rye whiskey produced by SLO Brewing Co. in San Luis Obispo. This release carries a two-year age statement, a natural-cork closure, and a 750ml bottle at 56% ABV / 112 proof. Rod & Hammer’s says its handcrafted spirits are aged six miles from the Pacific coast and cut with purified Pacific Ocean water, connecting this barrel-strength rye to its Central Coast setting.

The rye’s profile opens with black pepper and cedar on the nose, followed by hot rye spice across the palate and a smoky finish balanced by caramel sweetness. Those notes complement the bottle’s direct “Cask Rye,” “Barrel Strength,” and “Straight Whiskey” wording. The front label also places “California” prominently above the Rod & Hammer’s and SLO Stills names, with 112 proof displayed near the base and 750 mL printed along the side. The result is a distinctly regional, full-strength rye presentation with production, package, and flavor details working in concert.
