sagamore spirit 8-year old rye whiskey

The craft of making rye whiskey requires careful aging and thoughtful blending, and this 8-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey embodies the power of both. After aging their rye in new charred American white oak barrels for at least 8-years, Sagamore Spirit distillers crafted this complex rye with notes of dried cherries, clove, and smoked vanilla on the nose. A perfect balance of sweet and spice, this rye whiskey has a bold palate with flavors of candied ginger, sweet orange, molasses, and nut brittle. The Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series celebrates the legacy of Maryland distilling, with an unyeilding focus on excellence from start to finish. The first release of an 8-Year-Old Rye Whiskey by Sagamore Spirit was released in 2021 and has received a Gold Medal from the ASCOT Awards and a Double Gold from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
