  • Rye whiskey is often associated with bold and punchy black pepper notes that can be a deterrent. For those who think they don’t like rye whiskey due to this, Sagamore's 9 year old offers a superb alternative.

  • Nose:

    Heavy rye spice, brown sugar, a touch of mango, herbal green grass and rye spice. Ginger, black pepper, orange peel.

  • Taste:

    Rich on the palate. Gorgeous and loaded with oak. This is a hell of a rye. Root beer, heavy spice, pepper, grassy rye character, honey and black tea.

  • Finish:

    Long, strong and herbal finish that's loaded with black tea and a pinch of ethanol. Root beer, tons of oak. Bold and brash.

  • Overall:

    Wow — this is what Sagamore’s been working towards all these years, and it’s incredible. Nice work.
