Sagamore Double Oak

After aging our straight rye whiskey for 4 to 5 years in high-char new American oak barrels, our 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. Our 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.

Tasting Notes: Smooth caramel and rich toasted coconut. Nutty flavours of hazelnut and pecan meld perfectly with vanilla and caramel.

"Tasted against a similar whiskey like Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Rye, the Sagamore is more delicate and nuanced, showing a surprising restraint on the woodier notes as well as the rye spice. The finish is long and brings everything together into something reminiscent of apple pie filling, hot off the stove." - Drew Beard, Drink Hacker (90 Points)

"A classic rye nose, with aromas of pancakes, butterscotch, vanilla, and baking spices. The palate balances sweetness and spices—a bit tannic from the extra maturation in toasted oak, but well-rounded with flavours of cherries, chocolate, and spice, leading into a gentle, satisfying finish." - Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (87 Points)
