Frequently Asked Questions
How should I serve Hochstadter's Coffee Old Fashioned?
This coffee whiskey is designed to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks as a ready-to-drink old fashioned. The coffee and spice elements are perfectly balanced for sipping straight, though it also works beautifully in coffee-based cocktails or mixed with cream for a boozy coffee drink.
What does this coffee whiskey taste like compared to regular rye?
The rye whiskey provides a spicy backbone, but the Intelligentsia coffee and honey create a much sweeter, more complex profile than traditional rye. Think of it as a liquid café brûlot with the warmth and depth of aged whiskey rather than just coffee liqueur.
Is this better than other flavored whiskeys?
Hochstadter's uses real Intelligentsia coffee and natural ingredients rather than artificial flavoring, creating more authentic coffee character. The rye whiskey base also provides more complexity than most flavored whiskeys, which often use neutral grain spirits.
Can I use this in cocktails or just drink it straight?
While excellent neat, this coffee whiskey works wonderfully in espresso martinis, coffee old fashioneds, or mixed with cream for indulgent coffee cocktails. The 80 proof and balanced sweetness make it versatile for both sipping and mixing.
How does the price compare to similar coffee spirits?
At around $40, this offers excellent value for a craft coffee whiskey made with premium Intelligentsia coffee and straight rye whiskey. Most coffee liqueurs lack the whiskey complexity, while coffee-infused whiskeys from larger distilleries often cost significantly more.
