Sagamore Spirit Releases Oldest Whiskeys to Date with New 9-Year Rye and 7-Year Bottled in Bond

Sagamore Spirit’s new additions to their Reserve Series showcase a commitment to quality and innovation in rye whiskey, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions of Maryland distilling.

Sagamore Spirit has announced the launch of two exceptional rye whiskies that celebrate Maryland’s storied distilling heritage: the Sagamore 9-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey and the Sagamore Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey. These new additions to the brand’s Reserve Series showcase Sagamore’s commitment to quality and innovation in rye whiskey, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions of Maryland distilling.

Sagamore Spirit 9-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey

The Sagamore Spirit 9-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey marks the brand’s oldest age statement to date, aged for a minimum of nine years in new charred American oak barrels. With an ABV of 56.3%, this whiskey delivers a harmonious blend of sweetness and spice. On the nose, expect aromas of peach preserves, graham crackers, and dark chocolate. The palate reveals vibrant notes of orange zest, pecan pie, and peppery honey, culminating in a bold and warm tasting experience that embodies Maryland’s rich distilling legacy.

Sagamore Spirit Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey

Launching in November, the Sagamore Spirit Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey is a 7-year-old rye and represents the brand’s oldest Bottled in Bond release to date. Distilled, aged, and bottled in Maryland, this 100-proof whiskey adheres to stringent Bottled in Bond regulations. Crafted from a blend of high rye and low rye mash bills, it features a complex profile with flavors of rye spice, vanilla marshmallows, and grilled apricots. The finishing notes of ginger spice cake and cacao provide depth, making it a distinctive addition to any whiskey collection.

Celebrating Maryland Distilling Heritage

To commemorate the launch of these remarkable whiskies, Sagamore Spirit will host a Release Party at their Baltimore distillery on November 9th. This event celebrates the brand’s growth and its commitment to reviving Maryland rye, a significant component of American whiskey history. Both the 9-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey, priced at $79.99, and the Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey, available for $59.99, can be found at the distillery and select retailers.
