The new expression draws on a proprietary blend of high-rye and low-rye mash bills, a technique central to the distillery's signature profile. After eight years of aging, the whiskey offers a nuanced palate featuring notes of grilled peaches, brown sugar, and sweet cherry, finishing with hints of rye bread and maple syrup. Ryan Norwood, the master distiller at Sagamore, noted that the long maturation process highlights the depth and character inherent in the Maryland style.

Sagamore Whiskey Launches Eight-Year Bottled in Bond Rye
Distilled in Baltimore during the spring of 2018, Sagamore Whiskey is marking a milestone with the national release of its Bottled in Bond Straight Rye. The 100-proof spirit represents the brand’s push toward a fully Maryland-made production cycle, adhering to the strict quality standards established by the 1897 federal mandate.
Crafted to meet the rigorous Bottled in Bond Act requirements, the release is produced at a single distillery during a single season and bottled at exactly 100 proof. This transparency in production serves as a benchmark for the distillery's commitment to its regional roots. The whiskey is now available at select premium retailers and the Baltimore distillery for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
