Maryland rye distillery Sagamore Spirit announced the release of its limited edition 10-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey, the latest in its prestigious Reserve Series. 

This release marks a major milestone as the oldest straight rye whiskey released to date. Starting in September, this whiskey can be purchased either at the Sagamore Spirit’s distillery in Baltimore or select premium retailers throughout the country.

This straight rye whiskey is aged 10 years in new charred American white oak barrels and bottled at 55.4% ABV. 

“The launch of our 10-Year-Old Rye is a defining moment for Sagamore Spirit,” Ryan Norwood, VP of Operations at Sagamore Spirit, said in a news release. “This release reflects not only our deep commitment to the legacy of Maryland rye, but also the high standards our fans expect. It’s a bottle not to be missed.”

The Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series celebrates the legacy of Maryland distilling, with an unyielding focus on excellence from start to finish. Within this series, some whiskies undergo barrel finishing that impart unique flavor profiles, while others, like the 10-Year-Old, are distinguished by older age statements.

The limited edition Sagamore Spirit 10-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey is rolling out beginning of September at an SRP of $79.99 and can be purchased either at the Sagamore Spirit’s distillery in Baltimore or select premium retailers throughout the country.
