One of our favorite Straight Rye Whiskies finished in Cognac casks.
Like nearly all new spirits companies, for the first few years Sagamore Spirits purchased custom formulated distillate from other production facilities. It’s the only way to get started these days. But last year they moved production to their new, private distillery with a very nice visitor center in Baltimore, Maryland. Cheers to them! The name comes from the Sagamore Farm limestone spring water used to cut their Whiskey to proof. They produce a range of seven award-winning, all-American Rye Whiskeys and you should try them all because they’re mighty good stuff.
Sagamore Cognac Finish has actually been around for a few years, but it was only available at the distillery tasting center. But repeat demand convinced them to make it a standard offering.
It’s simple — don’t mess with success. They take their signature Straight Rye Whiskey and finishing it ex-Cognac casks. And in case you forgot, their signature Spirit is their own high-Rye and low-Rye blended to taste for the perfect balance at an impressive 50.5% ABV. Upon debut, the Cognac Finish was immediately awarded a Double Gold at the Denver International Spirits Competition.
