Slow & Low Old Fashioned 6 Year Old
Slow & Low Old Fashioned 6 Year Old is a 100-proof (50% ABV), 750mL ready-to-drink old fashioned — a limited-release expression built on straight rye whiskey aged six full years, sweetened with Demerara sugar and finished with aromatic and orange bitters — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
The flagship Slow & Low is 84 proof; the 6 Year Old turns the dial up. Starting with a six-year-old straight rye base — the most mature whiskey in the Slow & Low portfolio — it leans into everything rye does best: spice, structure, and a backbone that punches through sugar and ice. Demerara sugar brings dark, molasses-edged sweetness rather than neutral candy, while aromatic and orange bitters give it the classic old fashioned register. A Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (per trade listings) signals what the bottle already tells you: this is the bold, spicy end of the ready-to-drink old fashioned spectrum, poured at a full 100 proof so the rye's character cuts through rather than hides.
Tasting notes (trade and press consensus): bold, spicy bite from the 6-year rye up front — Demerara sweetness and orange bitters mid-palate — with real rye character and a warming, structured finish; reviewers call it the best RTD pick for drinkers who want a strong, spicy old fashioned.
