Production Notes

Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey is expertly crafted with a grain bill of half spring rye and half heirloom rye from the region. The natural spring water used in the production is limestone-filtered, which removes impurities and enhances the overall smoothness and taste of the whiskey. Distillation happens in a custom-built copper pot still. The whiskey undergoes a double maturation process for a more textured flavor profile and an elevated drinking experience. Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey is the epitome of precision and adherence to the true spirit of rye whiskey production.
