Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Rich aromas of ripe peaches and warm cinnamon roll, followed by toasted almonds and freshly baked molasses cookies. A hint of charred oak and vanilla lingers in the background.

Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Initial sweetness of caramelized sugar and honey gives way to a complex blend of baking spices. Notes of crème brûlée and butterscotch mingle with subtle floral undertones. The rye spiciness builds gradually, introducing white pepper and nutmeg.

Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, allowing the rye's peppery character to shine. Lingering notes of dried fruit, oak tannins, and a touch of cocoa powder. A pleasant warmth remains, reminiscent of cinnamon candies.

Sagamore Spirit 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey is carefully matured in new charred American white oak barrels for at least a decade, then thoughtfully blended to create a harmonious balance of sweet and spicy flavors; what's particularly intriguing is Sagamore's use of a two-mash-bill approach and triple distillation, which contributes to the whiskey's distinctive Maryland-style smoothness and complexity.

Sagamore Spirit's 10-Year-Old Rye is made using water from Sagamore Farm's limestone spring, which was once owned by Alfred G. Vanderbilt and is said to have produced champion racehorses due to its mineral-rich composition.

The whiskey's unique flavor profile is achieved through a proprietary "proofing" process where Sagamore combines two different rye mash bills - one high in rye content for boldness, and another lower in rye for smoothness - before aging.

Despite being a relatively young distillery (founded in 2013), Sagamore Spirit managed to release this 10-year-old expression by acquiring and carefully selecting aged whiskey stocks, then applying their expertise in blending and finishing to create a product that lives up to Maryland's historic rye whiskey legacy.
