Sagamore 10 Year Old Rye Reserve Series Batch 1A

Sagamore 10 Year Old Rye Reserve Series (Batch 1A): A Landmark in Maryland Rye

Experience a new benchmark in American rye whiskey. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and collectible spirits, is honored to present the Sagamore 10 Year Old Rye Reserve Series, Batch 1A. This limited-edition release is a true milestone, representing the oldest straight rye whiskey ever released by Sagamore Spirit.

This is a testament to the art of blending and maturation. This expression is a masterful blend of two distinct straight rye whiskeys sourced from Indiana (MGP): a high-rye (95% rye) and a low-rye (51% rye) mashbill. After aging for a full 10 years in new charred American oak, this inaugural batch, Batch 1A, was bottled at a robust 110.8 proof (55.4% ABV).

The extended aging has softened the sharp spice of a younger rye and allowed a deep, rich, and beautifully complex flavor profile to develop. It's a sophisticated sipper that balances power with elegance.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A decadent and inviting bouquet. Opens with sweet notes of peach crumble, molasses cookie, and roasted nuts, followed by layers of crème brûlée and a hint of warm baking spice.

• Palate: A rich, full-bodied, and syrupy texture. The palate is a perfect balance of sweet and spice, with flavors of floral honey, dark cherry, and rich caramel, all balanced by a sophisticated white pepper and seasoned oak.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and warming. The finish lingers with a satisfying, peppery spice that slowly fades into notes of sweet honey, dark chocolate, and toasted oak.

This 10-year-old rye is a must-have for any serious rye enthusiast and a prized addition to any collection. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this highly allocated Reserve Series release. Add this bottle of Maryland distilling excellence to your collection.
