Sagamore Spirit Barrel Selection Rye Whiskey 750ml

Sagamore Spirit Barrel Selection Rye establishes its profile immediately through a sixty percent rye and forty percent malted barley mash bill, matured four years in previously used American oak bourbon barrels and finished in Spanish sherry casks. The extended dual-cask maturation shapes a deep amber pour with a notably viscous mouthfeel, smoothing out raw grain edges while preserving the spirit’s structural backbone.

Ninety-proof bottling locks in aromatic intensity without introducing sharp burn. On the first sip, crushed red apple and bright citrus zest take center stage. Cardamom, clove, and sweetened cedar build across the mid-palate before yielding to a dry, resinous oak finish that terminates cleanly. Because Sagamore isolates this expression only after it passes strict internal sensory benchmarks, every batch maintains consistent viscosity and balanced extraction.

Recommended Applications & Storage

• Cocktail architecture: The pronounced spice backbone anchors spirit-forward recipes like the Manhattan or Boulevardier, standing firm against aromatic bitters and fortified vermouths without losing definition.
• Neat service: Pour over a single large clear ice cube to control dilution timing and gradually release volatile terpenes.
• Preservation: Keep the bottle sealed and stored upright in a cool, dark environment to maintain equilibrium and prevent oxidative drift.
