About the product: In November, Sagamore Spirit will unveil its Sagamore Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey, a 7-year-old rye and the brand's oldest Bottled in Bond release to date. This 100-proof whiskey, distilled, aged, and bottled in Maryland, embodies the high standards of the Bottled in Bond designation. Crafted in the fall of 2017 from a blend of high rye and low rye mash bills, it delivers Sagamore's signature Maryland-style flavor. Triple distilled and non-chill filtered, this small-batch release reveals a symphony of flavors—rye spice, brûléed sugar, vanilla marshmallows, and toasty caramel—balanced by bright notes of orange zest, grilled apricots, and red berries. Additional layers of ginger spice cake, cacao, aromatic walnuts, and worn leather enhance the richness, while rye spices leave a warm, lingering finish.
The Bottled in Bond designation, established in 1897, guarantees the whiskey meets strict criteria, including being the product of a single distillation season, aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100-proof. Sagamore Spirit's Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey honors this tradition while offering whiskey enthusiasts a bold and nuanced profile.
