Sagamore Spirit Rye Port Finish
(0.75l, 50.5%)
The wonderful American-Portugal connection.
When Sagamore Spirit opened its distillery on the bank of Patapsco River in Baltimore in 2017, they had a clear mission: put Maryland back on the Whiskey-making map by reviving the "Maryland-style" Whiskey that almost disappeared after the repeal of Prohibition. They're proofing their Whiskeys with limestone-filtered water from their farm, which reportedly fuels local racehorses who are born winners.
With their Port Finish Rye Whiskey, they've created a sumptuous story that starts with a blend of the best Straight Ryes and ends with a vinaceous twist: a finish in Port wine casks from Portugal and Maryland. The result is a full and complex flavor profile with fruity notes of plum and cherry. It's like a wonderful crossover episode of your favorite Baltimore TV show and a hit series from Portugal. Also, it's officially the World's best Rye Whiskey according to the 2019 San Francisco World Spirit Competition. Enhance your evenings with a neat one or pour it in a Manhattan cocktail.

Ratings & Reviews
Brendan,
Very good rye. The port finish and rye spice play nicely off each other. Easy to sip even at the higher ABV.
Roger,
I loved this so much. Smooth and easy finish.
Robert,
Strong Rye. Best suited for a cold day by a fire.
Paul,
It has a smooth velvet mouth feel and great spice. My first rye I’ve purchased and I loved it
Robert,
Dried fruit, wood, leather. Bitter note and a decent finish and thats about it. I can’t figure out how this won “rye” of the year in San Francisco. Its not terrible but not great.
