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.
