Sagamore Cask Strength Rye

Sagamore Cask Strength Rye was combined from rye whiskeys matured for 4-7 years. The 4-year-old rye whiskey components provide citrus notes and balanced flavour. The 7-year-old components bring chocolate, hazelnut and molasses notes to the bottling. The Cask Strength Rye was then carefully blended from these elements and (as the name suggests) bottled at cask strength, uncoloured and unfiltered. The US state of Maryland was once the market leader for rye whiskey, with at least 44 distilleries producing there in 1910, 21 of them in Baltimore alone. During the First World War, most of the distilleries switched their production to ethanol, after which Kentucky became the leading producer of rye. The Sagamore distillery was founded in Baltimore in 2015 to bring rye whiskey back to Maryland and is committed to production from field to bottle (From Grain to Glass).
