Sagamore Cask Strength
Our Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is a blend of straight high-rye and low-rye mash bills aged 4 to 7 years. The 7-year-old contributes deeper chocolate, hazelnut, and molasses characteristics and the 4-year-old adds bright citrus notes and balanced spice. After our distillers select and blend these straight rye whiskies, they add just a touch of limestone-filtered water from our spring house built in 1909. Cask Strength is complex and perfectly layered, showcasing the transformational art of blending.
Tasting Notes: Smooth dark chocolate paired with intense notes of black pepper and brown sugar. A light hit of honey for balance.
" A splash of water brings out more savoury caramel and toffee notes. A nice representation of the sweeter “Maryland-style” rye." - Drew Beard, Drink Hacker (90 Points)
"Sagamore Spirit is big and spicy, as one would expect from a cask strength rye. Although it's hot up front, it quickly gives way to deeper, richer notes of cherry, pipe tobacco, and fig. A sweet hint of clove lingers on the finish." - Jacob Grier, Distiller (88 Points)
