This second iteration of our Rum Cask Finish Rye Whiskey celebrates the innovation and creativity of our Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series. We aged our 5- and 6-year-old straight rye whiskies in hand-selected barrels from South America and Jamaica for an additional 10 months and then blended them back together.
The Jamaican rum barrels contribute notes of ripe banana and bright pineapple, balanced by the rich vanilla and brûléed sugar character of the South American rum barrels-a unique combination enhancing the spice of our rye. Our Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series celebrates the legacy of Maryland distilling, with an unyielding focus on excellence from start to finish.
PROOF: 98 (49% ABV)
AGE: 5-6 years in American oak, finished 10 months in Jamaican and South American rum barrels.
Tasting Notes:
Demerara sugar, ripe banana, passion fruit, spice pineapple, vanilla, fried floras, peanut brittle, and cinnamon bark with a peppery finish.
Awards/Reviews
Platinum - Ascot Awards 2022
“Nice rye flavors, balanced ABV level, and offers the essence of rye with a strong hint of rum. What’s not to love?”
95 Points, Finalist - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"The incredibly expressive nose of peach blossom, acacia, candied ginger, and honeycomb is captivating. The complex palate reveals rich flavors of roasted stone fruits, jasmine, cloves, and brown sugar amplified by the warming mouthfeel. Luscious and long finish."
