Sagamore Double Oak Rye Whiskey

Product Description

In the early 1800s, Maryland farmers treasured rye for its fibrous and sturdy nature, which kept soil healthy and protected the land from erosion. It also made a great quality Whiskey. Sagamore Spirit celebrates the history of Maryland’s great distillers and is committed to inspiring a global passion for Maryland Rye whiskey. Sagamore is unique in both its mash bill and proofing process. Each spirit is a blend of two different mash bills – a high rye and a low rye – and then proofed with spring-fed water from the Sagamore Farm Spring House. Fed from a limestone aquifer, this pure and naturally filtered water is crisp and calcium-rich – perfect for making Maryland-Style Rye whiskey.

The bouquet shows a mix of sweet, spicy and earthy notes as warm toasted oak, luscious red fruit, and black pepper rye spice all fall out of the glass alongside cinnamon, caramel, and a touch of herbaceous oak towards the back of the palate. The palate reflects the bouquet somewhat, opening with a sweet deep caramel, intermingled with warm toasted oak spices, a touch of black pepper, strawberries stewed in light brown sugar, and earthy baking spices a-plenty. A dark herbaceous charred oak edge develops with the finish, then opens with lingering spice from the palate before tannic oak and a hint of chocolate emerge, leaving an aftertaste of toasted oak and earthy rye spice.
