Slow & Low Releases Two New RTD Old Fashioneds

Hochstadter’s Slow & Low, the brand that revived America’s original bottled cocktail, Rock & Rye, has unveiled two new additions to its award-winning lineup: the Slow & Low Cherry Old-Fashioned and Slow & Low Maple Old-Fashioned. True to its commitment to delivering craft cocktails with convenience, Slow & Low has collaborated with renowned producers Luxardo and Crown Maple to create these innovative expressions. Cherry and Maple are now available to order online in 750-milliliter bottles, with 100-milliliter cans and 375-milliliter bottles launching later this year.

“These new expressions represent the evolution of what we’ve been building since day one — a house of proper old-fashioneds that honors tradition while elevating the cocktail experience,” said Chad Solomon, director of innovation for The Cooper Spirits Co. “By collaborating with masters like Luxardo and Crown Maple, we overdeliver in proof, balance, taste, and quality of ingredients. These best-in-class collaborations enable us to explore flavors that feel both familiar and fresh, maintaining the bartender-quality and consistency that defines our portfolio.”

Slow & Low Cherry Old-Fashioned (SRP: $29.99/750ml, $15.99/375ml, $19.99/100ml 4-pack; ABV: 40%) is crafted with Luxardo’s acclaimed Sangue Morlacco Cherry Liqueur, resulting in a vibrant twist on the classic Old-Fashioned with intense black cherry jam aroma, marzipan, and orange notes. The palate is bold and full-bodied, featuring tart black cherry, cola, vanilla, cinnamon, star anise, and orange peel, finishing cleanly with a rye spice dry-down.

“Collaborating with Slow & Low on the Cherry Old-Fashioned has been a natural partnership rooted in our shared commitment to authenticity,” said Matteo Luxardo, CEO of Luxardo. “Our liqueur brings over 200 years of Italian tradition to this innovative expression, bridging Old World heritage with New World ingenuity.”

Slow & Low Maple Old-Fashioned (SRP: $29.99/750ml, $15.99/375ml, $19.99/100ml 4-pack; ABV: 40%) features Crown Maple’s exceptional organic maple syrup, balancing warm maple sweetness with Slow & Low’s rye backbone. It opens with bright orange citrus and subtle maple sweetness, while the palate offers hints of crème brûlée, molasses, and spices, finishing with a satisfying fade to vanilla and oak.

“Partnering with Slow & Low showcases the select quality of Crown Maple organic maple syrup, adding depth and complexity to this cocktail experience,” said Mike Cobb, CEO of Crown Maple. “Our syrup enhances the whiskey’s character, representing artisan craftsmanship at its finest.”

“We’ve always viewed Slow & Low as a way to respect tradition while redefining the classic cocktail experience,” said Katie Cooper, president and co-founder of The Cooper Spirits Co. “With Cherry and Maple, we focused on balance, depth, and real ingredients; collaborating with Luxardo and Crown Maple gave us the tools to do that right. These new releases are bold but rooted in what makes the Old-Fashioned timeless.”
