A New Standard in Rye: Bold, Aged, and Maryland-Made
Award-winning Maryland rye distillery Sagamore Spirit is proud to announce the launch of a bold new batch of its celebrated Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. This 100% Maryland-made release is aged for seven years and bottled at a commanding 61.5% ABV, showcasing a masterful balance of strength, complexity, and craftsmanship.
The flavor journey begins with rich dark chocolate and black cherries, layered with freshly cracked black pepper, before giving way to smooth caramel and honey. The finish is long, leathery, and warm, with deep oak tannins that provide a lasting, refined experience for rye lovers.
From Field to Glass: A Commitment to Craft
What sets this release apart is Sagamore Spirit’s unwavering commitment to its grain-to-glass process, emphasizing local sourcing and sustainability. High-quality Maryland grains—sourced through close partnerships with local farmers—form the backbone of both their high-rye and low-rye mash bills.
These whiskeys are triple distilled to enhance smoothness and matured separately for seven years before being blended in small batches. This meticulous blending process captures the best of both styles, offering complexity without sacrificing drinkability.
Maryland Terroir: Seven Summers of Maturation
The whiskey’s identity is deeply tied to its Maryland terroir. Aged for seven summers in the state’s hot and humid climate, the barrels naturally develop higher proof and increased depth.
The result? A modern Maryland-style rye that honors historical roots while embracing a bold, contemporary flavor profile.
