New Product Alert! 🥃🚨 Last year, we started a coast-to-coast collaboration with @sierranevada Brewing Co. We sent them rye whiskey barrels and Maryland-grown rye malt for their Rye Ale Beer. Well, what goes around comes around. They returned those same barrels to us and we finished a blend of 4 and 6-year old straight rye whiskies in them. The result is a fantastic 90-proof rye whiskey with notes of hazelnut and creamy caramel. Our Brewer’s Select Rye Ale Finish is now available for curbside pickup at the distillery and select retail locations in MD, D.C., DE, CA, FL, GA and NJ.

Derby Day! Sure, we love a good good julep. And yes, know they’re usually made with bourbon. But, Maryland was over 158 years old before Kentucky was even founded. Rye Whiskey, we like to say, is Bourbon’s Older Brother. Mix up your julep today with America’s original whiskey. 📸: @lochbar

We wouldn't have whiskey if we didn't have farms.

We wouldn't have whiskey if we didn't have farms. Recently, we made a capital investment to build a grain storage silo and milling facility at a local farm in Maryland. This slashed our trucking mileage from thousands, to less than twenty. Every day, but on #EarthDay especially, we're grateful to work with local farmers to source rye, corn, and barley for our mash bill. Today, from home, we toast to #EarthDay.

Three years ago today, we opened our waterfront distillery in Port Covington. What a ride! Since then, we've welcomed over 100,000 guests, launched over 15 products, and won Best Rye Whiskey in the World. We remain steadfast in our mission to inspire a global passion for Maryland Rye Whiskey, even as we convert 100% of our distillation to corn ethanol for hand sanitizer production to support frontline healthcare workers and first responders. We love this city, we love this state, and we couldn't have done any of this without you. We can't wait to welcome you back soon. Cheers to many more! 🥃

Production has started on our hand sanitizer for M

Production has started on our hand sanitizer for Maryland’s frontline healthcare workers. Thanks to everyone for the help and commitment to the community this past week. Especially @hopkinsmedicine pharmacists who worked with our Operations team to blend our first batch. Now that we are up and running, we are confident we can support many critical-need industries in Maryland. If you have any questions, please email info@sagamorespirit.com. And above all, please stay safe and healthy. There is no higher priority then the growing and vital needs of health professionals. The entire team at Sagamore Spirit is prepared to contribute to this global effort.

We need your help. The stimulus bill included the FET waiver on the production of hand sanitizer, but current FDA guidelines still require hand sanitizer to be distilled at an impossibly high ABV and denatured. If this doesn’t change, almost all distilleries in the country will be prevented from maximizing their capacity to help during this crisis. Please take two seconds to send a message to your elected officials. LINK IN BIO. Please share!

We’ve been working aggressively to procure mater

We’ve been working aggressively to procure materials sufficient to manufacture an initial 54,000 liters of hand sanitizer. This will first be made available to Maryland health providers including @hopkinsmedicine which has been advising us on manufacturing the vital sanitizer to WHO and FDA standards for safety and efficacy. But we can do more. Congress needs to temporarily waive an arcane statute during this healthcare crisis that requires the use of denaturants, which the WHO deems unnecessary to manufacture safe and effective hand sanitizer. We have procured enough denaturants to produce the initial 54,000 liter run, but since it is in short supply, our ability to expand to the potential 100,000 liter monthly production level entirely depends on Congress’s willingness to waive the denaturing requirement. Please use the link in our bio to send a letter to your elected officials. Takes five seconds. There is no higher priority than serving the growing and vital needs of health professionals. The entire team at Sagamore spirit is prepared to contribute to this global effort.
