Maker Notes
At Sagamore Spirit, we are driven to craft the world's best rye whiskey, while strengthening our collective communities. This includes building partnerships with the Maryland agricultural community and working with local farmers to grow and harvest grain. These relationships further our goal of using Maryland-grown rye in our products and helps local farmers expand their business. Watch our Grain to Glass video to learn more or visit our award-winning, five-acre waterfront distillery located in the Baltimore Peninsula neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland.
Our American Rye Whiskies have earned more than 200 awards internationally, including World's Best Rye Whiskey in 2019 at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Each one of our products is proofed with pure, limestone-filtered water from our Spring House built in 1909. It's why each bottle bears a special 1909 marker. Our core offerings, Signature Rye Whiskey, Cask Strength Rye Whiskey, and Double Oak Rye Whiskey, are distributed globally. We launched our first Maryland Distilled Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey in November 2021.
Sherry Finish 6 Year Old Rye Whiskey
First released as a Distillery Exclusive bottle in 2019, our distillers were committed to bring back this complex and layered whiskey for the world to enjoy. The structured oak profile of our original whiskey balances the bouquet of dried fruit and honey left from the PX Sherry wine. Our 4-year old straight rye whiskey spent an additional 18 months in 132-gallon PX Sherry barrels, resulting in a taste profile featuring velvety notes of toasted almond, dried fig, and soft spice.
Tasting Notes
PALATE: Toasted almond, dried fig, raisins, dates, honey, toffee, candied orange peel, jam, soft spice and hints of cocoa.
