Sagamore Spirit Small Batch Rye Whiskey is a signature expression of modern Maryland-style rye, known for its approachable spice, smooth texture, and balance. Made from a blend of two proprietary rye mash bills—a high-rye and a low-rye—this small batch whiskey is crafted with precision and aged in new charred American oak barrels, then proofed with limestone-filtered spring water from Sagamore Farm.
The result is a versatile, flavorful rye that’s equally enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Old Fashioned.
