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.

Great Rye from the charm city.

Pretty good sipping rye
 
Kat
Kat,
Nice finish, smooth sipper
 
John
John,
Very balanced. Easy to drink. Just the right amount of spice I was looking for. Minimal burn.
 
Darren
Darren,
Smooth for a rye whiskey
 
Jessica
Jessica,
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 šŸ„ƒ! 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 ā€œspicierā€ 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 donā€™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.
 
Laura
Laura,
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 ryeā€™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 donā€™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.
