Sagamore Spirit Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey review: Baltimore's rye whiskey specialists finally unveil their own spirit, and it brings the spice. whiskey cocktails ryewhiskey
As a whiskey industry observer, it’s always nice to see another company that initially built itself off sourced spirit celebrate the launch of their first truly in-house, 100% bespoke product. That’s a huge moment in the history of a company like Baltimore’s Sagamore Spirit, which has faithfully been preaching the gospel of rye whiskey in Maryland since 2016 at this point.
This bottle is not just a landmark for the distillery, but a roadmap—as they progress, the company plans to eventually transition all its production to this homemade product, fermented and distilled from Maryland-grown rye. Like the MGP blend they initially created, this bottled in bond rye is a blend of two different rye whiskey mash bills, a “low rye and high rye” duo.
On the palate, this rye is leading off with light caramel and mint, along with tons of pepper and rye spice. There’s a floral element for sure, and the tea crops up again, this time met by peppermint. Anise and cinnamon again evoke the spice cupboard. The flavors aren’t quite as rich as they initially seemed they might be on the nose—this BiB expression doesn’t have that same deeper sweetness one will find in the Double Oak thanks to its secondary maturation.
Sagamore Spirit’s long road since 2016 has ultimately yielded a pretty classic expression of American rye whiskey here, ready to stir up in a Manhattan at your earliest convenience. Congrats to the distillery for taking the experiment to this point, and we’ll be curious to see where it continues to grow from here.
