Sagamore America 250 Rye Whiskey Special Bottle

BALTIMORE, MD (June 30, 2026) – Sagamore Spirit has officially announced the upcoming release of its America 250 Straight Rye Whiskey, an ultra-limited, distillery-exclusive bottling created to mark America’s landmark 250th anniversary.

Strictly limited to just 250 individually numbered bottles, this highly collectible release will be sold exclusively at Sagamore’s Baltimore waterfront distillery, making it a premier target for Maryland whiskey enthusiasts and history collectors alike.

A Tribute to Maryland’s Historic Rye Heritage

Crafted in Baltimore, this eight-year-old, 110-proof spirit pays homage to a rich regional distilling tradition that predates the historical rise of Kentucky bourbon. Long before the Bluegrass State became synonymous with American whiskey, Maryland was the nation’s epicenter for exceptional rye.

Sagamore Spirit continues this legacy today by utilizing its signature double mash bill, blending time-honored Maryland-style sweetness with bold rye spice.

Flavor Profile & Complexity:

The extended aging process showcases the true depth of matured Maryland rye, delivering a complex flavor profile that includes:

Initial Notes: Rich caramel, bright citrus zest, hazelnut, and sweet honey.
Mid-Palate & Finish: Deep baking spice, smoky oak, dried cherry, and warm baked apple.

Each bottle comes complete with a custom commemorative coin celebrating the nation’s Semiquincentennial milestone.

Price and On-Site Availability

Suggested Retail Price: $125.00 (750ml)
Availability: Exclusively at the Sagamore Spirit Distillery gift shop in Baltimore, MD.
Release Date: Doors open for this limited allocation starting mid-July 2026. Because only 250 bottles exist globally, bottles are expected to sell out quickly on day one.
