- Description
- Sagamore Spirit's rye whiskey receives an 18-month finishing in Pedro Ximénez sherry butts, adding stewed fruit and candied nut character to the Maryland distillery's four-year-old base spirit. Rich oak and soft rye spice form the foundation, enhanced by the sherry's dark sweetness and dried fruit complexity. The result is full-bodied and warming, with a supple mouthfeel that bridges the gap between American rye structure and Spanish oak influence. Suited to those seeking depth in a younger rye without excessive heat.
