Rod & Hammer’s SLO Stills Launches Canned Whiskey Cocktails

They have what’s described as unique variations on traditional cocktails such as Whiskey Margarita, Whiskey Mule, and a Whiskey Paloma.

The new cocktails are crafted and canned at Rod & Hammer’s SLO Stills’ distillery in San Luis Obispo, California. It was founded when Rodney “Rod” Cegelski, a California surfer, met Hamish “Hammer” Marshall, an Aussie jackaroo, and a friendship emerged over a shared appreciation of quality spirits and the Central Coast.

The distillery was natural offshoot for Marshall, a beer-loving Aussie who purchased the long-standing California brewery SLO Brew in 2010.

“We wanted to give classic cocktails a bit of a whiskey twist,” said co-founder Cegelski. “Their full strength and handcrafted with our whiskey for a proper cocktail on the go.”
