Sagamore Spirit Rum Cask Finish
Rye
Sagamore Spirit // Maryland, USA
This wide release follows the success of the distillery-only expression from 2019. For this expression, 5 and 6 year-old straight rye whiskies are placed some in ex-rum casks from South America, and the rest in barrels from Jamaica, aging both for an additional 10 months.
Once maturation was complete, the whiskey from both barrels were then blended back together. It is bottled at 98 proof and available as of March, 2022.

RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.
