Sagamore Spirit 10 Year Old is a limited Reserve Series straight rye whiskey from Baltimore, Maryland, aged a full decade in new charred American white oak and bottled at 110.8 proof (55.4% ABV).
It is Sagamore Spirit's oldest age-stated rye to date, crafted grain to glass in the Maryland style, balancing bold rye spice with refined sweetness, and hand-bottled. The extended maturation lets layers of sweet and spice harmonise, shifting the profile from bright citrus to deeper, confectionery notes.
The nose brings peach crumble, roasted nuts and molasses cookie. The palate offers crème brûlée, floral honey, subtle oak and layered sweetness, and the finish lingers with white pepper and long, warming spice.
A rare, decade-old Maryland rye, it makes a fine gift for rye collectors.
Sip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
Straight rye whiskey must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% rye, aged at least two years in new charred oak and bottled with nothing added but water.
Maryland was once one of America's great rye whiskey states, known for a softer, sweeter style than the spicier ryes of Pennsylvania, and Sagamore Spirit has helped revive that tradition.
Ten years is a long time for rye in new charred oak; the extra time softens the grain's spice and draws deep caramel and dessert notes from the wood.
