Rye whiskey has a long ol' history in the USA, with a few places in particular singled out in rye's journey, including Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The Maryland-style of rye has struggled on the verge of extinction in recent decades, but Sagamore Spirit is one of a few producers choosing to make this sweeter style of rye. The Signature Rye is made with a sourced combination of two rye whiskeys from Indiana, brought down to bottling strength with limestone-filtered water from Sagamore Farm. Not quite a dry and spicy as the rye whiskeys that you may be familiar with, but it offers up a lip-smacking sweetness that makes for easy sipping, and works great in cocktails.
Honeyed grains, milky coffee, cinnamon gum and a soft hint of peppery oak.
Chewy dates and candied peels, with pistachio ice cream and nutmeg to follow.
Lasting vanilla, a hint of drying cedar and more honey.

I enjoyed this whiskey on the rocks and straight. It has a great spice that pairs very good with a cigar. The finish was a Smooth as well. Good add to my bar.
I'm newer to American whisk(e)y, usually a Scotch drinker but was impressed with the complexity of this one and how easy it was to bring. Maybe I do like American whisk(e)y.
I'm not not normally a rye drinker, but I was impressed by this rye from Sagamore Spirit. Has a nice rye spice, complex and well balanced. What surprised me the most what how smooth the finish was. I would buy this one again and looking forward to trying some of their other expressions.
