Sagamore Spirit is on a mission: putting Maryland back on the Whiskey map.

When award-winning Sagamore Spirit opened its waterfront distillery’s doors and fired up its copper stills, it had two things in mind: turn out rye that would put Maryland back on the whiskey-making map, and create a destination to delight and educate spirits lovers from near and far. One year, two million pounds of milled grain, and 30,000 visitors later, the plan is well ahead of schedule.

Sagamore Straight Rye was rated 95/100 in The Tasting Panel Magazine, 2017, “an exquisite nose of peach and jasmine” with additional tones of spiced apricot nectar, caramel cream, tobacco leaf and orange rind present in taste as well…”

The taste harkens back to the 19th century, when Maryland farmers discovered the benefits of distilling whiskey from the distinctive grain – perfect neat or in their signature Black-Eyed Rye Cocktail.

The water that comes straight up from a limestone spring at the farm reportedly fuels the local race horses that are said to be winners.

Ratings & Reviews
Member Reviews and Ratings of Sagamore Spirit Straight Rye Whiskey
John
John,
Very good with a cigar. Complements the tobacco with a spicy flavor. Very good and has a great finish. Before Flaviar, I never considered this as a whiskey I would keep in my bar, but now it will become a staple.
 
Anthony
Anthony,
Smooth and sophisticated. Definitely a change of pace from standard rye fare, but in a great way. Could be a bit of an acquired taste, but a taste worth acquiring.
 
Michael
Michael,
Tasty and smooth
 
eric
eric,
Smooth for a rye
 
Michael
Michael,
Smooth and mildly spicy
 
Mike
Mike,
Sweet forward, low proof, low aroma, earthy-dry aftertaste. Easy to drink one.
 
Hansen
Hansen,
definitely solid and one of few best.
 
Joel
Joel,
This Rye tastes wonderful. Drink it straight up or on the rocks. You can’t loose either way.
 
Richard

Solid. Amazed the non whiskey drinkers at the holiday party. Will definitely be buying another bottle for myself.
 
James
James,
Fabulous, live it, just what I had hoped. I will buy more!
 
maria
maria,
Very good! Will definitely buy this again.
 
Mike

This is full bodied rye. It’s got an good nose and finishes well without a lot of the rye burn.
 
Andrew

Very good. Smooth. Spicy finish.
 
Joel
Joel,
Woody taste.
 
William
William,
Smooth rye
 
Robert
Robert,
I'm not much for Rye, but this one is smooth and enjoyable. The hint of Jasmine was a nice change and very noticeable on the front, with the spice coming in on the finish. I'll likely keep this one rotating on the shelf. Cool bottle too.
 
Jasson
Jasson,
Not a huge rye fan, normally a scotch drinker, but this is very, very good. Smooth, sweet attack with a mild palette, and a subtle rye finish. I am likely to order another bottle of this after receiving it as a freebie from a referral. Good stuff. 8/10
 
Sadie
Sadie,
If you’re a fan of rye you’ll enjoy this one. All the flavor from a rye you’d want with a good finish and not too much going on. Easy drinker with minimal bite
 
James
James,
Amazingly smooth for a rye. Great flavor. Unfortunately I finish this bottle with friends in one sitting so I will definitely be purchasing another.
 
Jitendra
Jitendra,
Just usual... no complexity
 
Robert
Robert,
I like this rye. Had nice oak and caramel notes straight out of the bottle. I found it really smoothed out and opened up well with one ice cube... I even noticed some fruitiness once it opened up. Nice rye.
 
Gene
Gene,
Nice , a friendly rye with taste and character. Very drinkable a tad sweet but A great sip. I will keep this one in “the rotation “
 
Benjamin
Benjamin,
a sweet rye, or - spicy bourbon? Sagamore splits the hair to perfection.

Albert,
No matter what...can't help but enjoy this surprising sipper.

Smooth for a rye whiskey

Smooth & comfortable. Not overpowering. Enjoyed it.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Way too hot, destroyed my taste buds for the night and was not particularly satisfying. Best used in a cocktail.
 
Denise
Denise,
I loved the rich smooth play of the flavors and has been a great way to start my life with Whisky 🥃! Thanks
 
J
J,
Light and sweet; most favorable of 3 ryes tried this evening.
 
Keith
Keith,
Nice.
 
Elizabeth
Elizabeth,
I gave this as a gift and it was a hit. Yes, of course it was shared. We both like whisky and this was a pleasure to drink.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
This was my first real adventure into rye whiskey... I was expecting it to be harsher and “spicier” than it was. I was pleasantly surprised that it was sweet and smooth and every other thing you want a nice whiskey to be.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
Mixed with Coke and was surprised how well it blended.
 
Marisol
Marisol,
The Rye went down smoothly with a sweet smell of vanilla.
 
James
James,
Overall decent, but nothing jumped out. Very smooth, but didn't really have any prominent taste.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Very nice!
 
Cheryl
Cheryl,
Sharp, warm finish, good oak balance, soft enough of a cherry finish that you don’t even think about it until later. Well charred and very light tannin accents.
 
Scott
Scott,
A lot smoother than I expected. Rye's usually punch me in the face. This one still brought some burn, but offered a lot of back end flavor.
 
James
James,
I like the bite of pepper at the beginning. Very tasty finish.
 
Evan
Evan,
Light golden color, I taste a lot of spice, some caramel and vanilla . I'm a bourbon drinker, but good enough to spur my curiosity with ryes.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
New to Rye. Nice smooth vanilla whiskey.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
Nice flavor. Pretty strong
 
Jesse
Jesse,
Pretty good, tastes a little spicy in a good way. Not very sweet. A classic rye.
 
Matt
Matt,
Much more flavor and complexity compared with other rye whiskeys. A nice addition
 
Joseph
Joseph,
Truly surprised with the great flavor and quality. Highly recommend for those who have never tried rye.
 
Leanna
Leanna,
Delicious! It has the spiciness that I expect from a rye, but much smoother than I'm used to. Could easily be a sipping whiskey
 
Todd
Todd,
Nice rye alternative.
 
Tim
Tim,
Great taste. Very smooth. One of my new go to bourbons.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
It was a nice change up!
 
Michelle
Michelle,
I find this easy-sipping. Not as full-flavored as some other rye’s i have tried. Not sure that this is one i would keep around all the time. BUT, it is easy to drink and good intro to rye.
 
Amanda
Amanda,
Spicy on the front a bit of a harsh finish but a did Rye overall
 
Kihm
Kihm,
Lovely, mild, not overwhelming, but very tasty and clean.
 
Michael
Michael,
The nose on this rye is absolutely incredible (vanilla, spice, and, yes, jasmine). The taste is not quite as sweet as I expected given the nose, but wonderful nonetheless and quite well-balanced. I got this as a welcome bottle when I signed up (I might not otherwise have tried it)...but I will definitely have this again. I also love the bottle design and shape. I can't wait to try more from Sagamore Spirit.
 
Tom
Tom,
Another MGP product, but pleasant enough. Not a lot of complexity, a bit sweet for a rye, but totally quaffable.
 
Jeanne
Jeanne,
Tastes a little thin to me. Prefer the cask strength. Good for mixed drinks.
 
Bradley
Bradley,
I'm just now getting into rye. I'm more of a bourbon guy, but I really like this. Very Sweet taste with a light spice undertone. I'm also not a pro Whiskey taster.
 
Timothy
Timothy,
Tasty Rye, easy drinking with a great sweetness without losing the true Rye quality. Great for Manhattans.
 
Roger
Roger,
A very good drinking rye whiskey . Light on the rye with little to no burn. Its not going to knock your socks off, but I don’t it was made for that. Its just an inexpensive enjoyable daily drink.
 
Harrison
Harrison,
Great Rye Whiskey from Maryland. Spice balance is complemented by the subtle notes of fruit. Brought me back to being a RYE fan.
 
Larry
Larry,
Good for Maryland distillers attempting to reclaim the Rye! This is a worthwhile entry, spicy and flavor forward but a little light on the palate.
