The Whisky:-

Sagamore Straight Rye Whiskey is a blend of two straight rye mash bills, aged 4 to 6 years in high-char American oak barrels. The first is a high-rye, which adds notes of cinnamon and clove, and the second, a low-rye, contributes notes of caramel, honey, and citrus peel. The final spirit is proofed with limestone-filtered water from our spring house built in 1909 and represents our team’s thoughtful approach to crafting a classic Maryland-style rye whiskey.

The Distillery:- 

Poster

Maryland Rye Whiskey was known to be full-bodied yet notably sweeter and smoother than other regional rye styles, and Sagamore Spirit has picked up the torch. Sagamore Spirit triple distills and blends two different rye mash bills – a high rye and a low rye to craft the brand's modern approach to American Whiskey. Sagamore Spirit prioritizes a grain-to-glass process, utilizing non-GMO grains while connecting with the local farming community to create the greatest rye whiskey imaginable. 

 

Its Rye Whiskies have earned more than 200 awards internationally, including "World's Best Rye Whiskey" in 2019 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
