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.

Sagamore Spirit 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 their spring house built in 1909 and represents their team’s thoughtful approach to crafting a classic Maryland-style rye whiskey.
