Sagamore Spirit is bringing back the historical style of Maryland rye whiskey which is typically sweeter. It was throughout the 1800s that the style came into its own and grew immensely popular.
After aging their straight rye whiskey for 4 to 5 years in high-char new American oak barrels, the distillers transfer the aged whiskey into toasted wave stave barrels for an additional 18 months. The increased surface area of the low-char, medium-plus-toast staves imparts Double Oak’s delightful caramel, toffee, hazelnut, and toasted coconut.
the classic Maryland-style rye whiskey is reimagined through this innovative aging process and then proofed with limestone-filtered water from our spring house built in 1909. The final spirit is a shining example of old meeting new.
