mmerse yourself in the complex journey of Sagamore Spirit Reserve Select, a meticulously crafted rye whiskey that has traversed a unique aging process. This exceptional spirit began its life aging in a barrel that previously held extra añejo tequila and was then used by Orchid Cellar to age white peach mead, adding layers of intricate flavors.
Aging Process: Blended from 4-year and 6-year-old rye whiskies, this distinctive batch was finished for two additional years in the very same white peach mead barrel from Orchid Cellar Meadery in Maryland. This innovative aging strategy has woven the classic warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg inherent in our rye with the lush, succulent tones of stone fruits.
