Our 5-year-old straight rye whiskey spent an additional 3 years in a Kingston Black hard Apple Cider barrel. This highly revered cider apple has imparted notes of herbaceous cardamom, brown sugar, and pithy oranges into the classic spice profile of our signature whiskey. Flavors of papaya, black peppercorns, graham crackers, and bitter chocolate are layered over the palate before a brilliant cinnamon-apple finish from the cider barrel. The Sagamore Spirit Reserve Select Series offers a one-of-a-kind selection that celebrates the legacy of Maryland distilling, with an unyielding focus on excellence from start to finish.
