Rod & Hammer's Slo Stills Manhattan American Whiskey

Rod & Hammer’s Slo Stills Manhattan brings a craft distillery’s precision to one of the world’s most iconic cocktails. Ready to pour and perfectly balanced, this premium bottled Manhattan blends Rod & Hammer’s smooth American whiskey with sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters, delivering a bar-quality experience without the need for mixing.

The whiskey is crafted from a classic American mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, aged in new charred American oak barrels along California’s Central Coast. This coastal aging, combined with the distillery’s signature use of purified Pacific Ocean water, imparts a distinct character that’s both rich and approachable. In the glass, it offers aromas of caramel, vanilla, and dried cherry, leading to a palate layered with toffee, baking spice, orange peel, and a touch of herbal bitterness from the vermouth. The finish is long, smooth, and subtly sweet, making it an ideal after-dinner sipper.

Rod & Hammer’s Slo Stills, based in San Luis Obispo, California, is a veteran-owned distillery dedicated to small-batch whiskey making, with an emphasis on tradition, patience, and coastal influence. Their spirits have earned praise in regional and national competitions for their balance, quality, and craftsmanship.

Whether served neat over a large ice cube or garnished with a Luxardo cherry, Rod & Hammer’s Slo Stills Manhattan delivers a sophisticated, ready-to-enjoy cocktail that embodies the artistry of both whiskey making and mixology.
