The same exact product as the Signature, just at full strength. The ABV is brought down a tiny bit for batch consistency. 56.1% ABV (so cask strength but not natural cask strength).

Our Cask Strength Rye Whiskey is a blend of straight high-rye and low-rye mash bills aged 4 to 7 years. The 7-year-old contributes deeper chocolate, hazelnut, and molasses characteristics and the 4-year-old adds bright citrus notes and balanced spice. After our distillers select and blend these straight rye whiskies, they add just a touch of limestone-filtered water from our spring house built in 1909. Cask Strength is complex and perfectly layered, showcasing the transformational art of blending.

” A splash of water brings out more savory caramel and toffee notes. A nice representation of the sweeter Maryland-style rye.” – Drew Beard, Drinkhacker (90 Points)

“Sagamore Spirit is big and spicy, as one would expect from a cask strength rye. Although it’s hot up front, it quickly gives way to deeper, richer notes of cherry, pipe tobacco, and fig. A sweet hint of clove lingers on the finish.” – Jacob Grier, Distiller (88 Points)

“Wow! What a way to start another Whisky Bible tasting day!” – Jim Murray, Whisky Bible (95 Points)
