Sagamore Spirit Double Oak Straight Rye American Whiskey 750ml

Dials up those marshmallow flavours to a whole other level. Aged between 4 and 5 years in heavy-char virgin oak and then spends an extra 18 months in toasted virgin oak casks.

After aging our straight rye whiskey for 4 to 5 years in high-char new American oak barrels, our distillers transfer the aged whiskey into toasted wave stave barrels for an additional 18 months. The increased surface area of the low-char, medium-plus-toast staves imparts Double Oak’s delightful caramel, toffee, hazelnut, and toasted coconut. Our classic Maryland-style rye whiskey is reimagined through this innovative aging process and then proofed with limestone-filtered water from our spring house built in 1909. The final spirit is a shining example of old meeting new.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Golden amber.

Nose: Baking spices, dried orange peel, and warm cinnamon.

Palate: Smooth caramel and rich toasted coconut. Nutty flavors of hazelnut and pecan meld perfectly with vanilla and caramel.

"Tasted against a similar whiskey like Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Rye, the Sagamore is more delicate and nuanced, showing a surprising restraint on the woodier notes as well as the rye spice. The finish is long and brings everything together into something reminiscent of apple pie filling, hot off the stove." - Drew Beard, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

"A classic rye nose, with aromas of pancakes, butterscotch, vanilla, and baking spices. The palate balances sweetness and spices—a bit tannic from the extra maturation in toasted oak, but well-rounded with flavors of cherries, chocolate, and spice, leading into a gentle, satisfying finish." - Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (87 Points)

"It may sound strange but there is a distinctive bourbon type feel to the rye, perhaps from the ratio of tannin to grain. A serious mouthfeel just laden with flavours. Superb." - Jim Murray, Whisky Bible (95 Points)
