Sagamore Spirit, founded in 2013, set out to revive that tradition, and since opening its waterfront distillery in Baltimore in 2017 it has worked toward a fully Maryland-made rye. Small Batch is now its first 100% Maryland-made whiskey, quality-controlled from grain to glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recipe blends two straight rye mash bills: a classic high-rye recipe of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, and a lower-rye recipe of about 52% rye with corn and malted barley. The spirit is proofed with limestone-filtered spring water from Sagamore Farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is the softer, more balanced, fruit-forward style of rye that flourished in Maryland before Prohibition. Classic baking spices pair with fruit notes including golden delicious apples, giving way to vibrant sweetness of caramel, honey and brown sugar. Warm spice and honey linger through a mild oak, fading-fruit finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts balanced 93 proof makes it excellent neat, over a large cube or in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baking spice, golden delicious apple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, honey, brown sugar, warm spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, mild oak, fading fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sagamore Spirit, Baltimore, Maryland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maryland-style straight rye whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bills:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95% rye \/ 5% malted barley and ~52% rye with corn and barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limestone-filtered spring water from Sagamore Farm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 proof (46.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or over a large cube, or stir a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Maryland-style rye?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA softer, more balanced, fruit-forward rye style from before Prohibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the mash bills?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 95% rye recipe and a lower-rye recipe of about 52% rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Sagamore Spirit's distillery in Baltimore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rye\"\u003eRye collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sagamore Spirit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039699988789,"sku":"VWS200431281","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-29307.webp?v=1793834299","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/sagamore-spirit-small-batch-straight-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
