Sagamore Whiskey, the award-winning Maryland-style whiskey brand rooted in Baltimore’s historic rye tradition, announced the national release of its Sagamore Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey, available nationwide beginning September 1st, 2026. 

Distilled, aged and bottled entirely in Maryland, the new expression marks a significant milestone in Sagamore Whiskey’s continued journey toward becoming a fully Maryland-made whiskey brand. 

Distilled in the spring of 2018 at Sagamore Whiskey’s Baltimore distillery and aged for eight years, the Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey is crafted in accordance with the rigorous standards established by the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. The designation requires whiskey to be produced by a single distiller at a single distillery during one distilling season, aged for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof, offering consumers a mark of quality, authenticity and transparency.

The expression brings together two rye mash bills, one high-rye and one low-rye, following the proprietary blending approach that has helped define Sagamore Whiskey’s award-winning portfolio. 

“Seeing this whiskey go from the still to the bottle after eight years is incredibly rewarding,” Ryan Norwood, Master Distiller at Sagamore Whiskey, said in a news release. “We’ve had a long time to watch these barrels develop, and this release really shows what makes Maryland Style so special to us. It has plenty of character and depth, but it’s still approachable and easy to enjoy. Knowing that we distilled, aged and bottled this whiskey right here in Maryland makes this one especially meaningful for our team, and we’re excited to finally share it with whiskey drinkers across the country.”

Sagamore Whiskey brings together award-winning whiskey, modern culture and meaningful experiences, through its Maryland Style: a historic approach to rye whiskey, known for balancing rye spice with a softer, richer character and notes of sweetness and fruit. Sagamore brings this to life through dual mash bills, triple distillation and thoughtful blending, creating a balanced and approachable rye that honors Maryland’s longstanding whiskey-making tradition.

The Sagamore Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey will be available nationwide beginning September 1st at select premium retailers and at the Sagamore Whiskey distillery in Baltimore, Maryland, with a SRP of $59.99.
