The origin of the Rock & Rye cocktail dates back to the 19th Century, during the American Prohibition. At that time, bartenders served in their saloon a shot of Rye whiskey, leaving the customers to decide to add candied sugar, cane sugar in large crystals. The scope was to improve the taste of whiskey which was, at that time, of very bad quality. After one year of aging, rye is distilled and again aged with candied sugar, dried black cherries, cinnamon and orange peels.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
