Sagamore Spirit Distillery, based in Baltimore, Maryland, is dedicated to crafting exceptional rye whiskey that honours Maryland’s rich whiskey-making heritage. Founded on the philosophy of patience and time-honoured tradition, Sagamore Spirit sources limestone-filtered spring water from its namesake Sagamore Farm to create its signature whiskey. The distillery focuses on blending two distinct rye mash bills, creating a balanced flavour profile with a complex combination of spice and sweetness. Visitors to Sagamore Spirit can enjoy guided tours of the state-of-the-art facility, learning about the distilling process and history of Maryland rye. The distillery is a modern yet historically grounded destination for whiskey enthusiasts.

This Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is a blend of straight high-rye and low-rye mash bills aged 4 to 7 years. The 7-year-old contributes deeper chocolate, hazelnut, and molasses characteristics and the 4-year-old adds bright citrus notes and balanced spice. After the distillers select and blend these straight rye whiskies, they add just a touch of limestone-filtered water from their spring house built in 1909. Cask Strength is complex and perfectly layered, showcasing the transformational art of blending.
