A bold single-barrel, cask-strength pick from Sagamore—selected by MDP & NTBC for those who want a rye with teeth and finesse.
Description
This nine-year rye is a concentrated expression that balances assertive spice with measured sweetness. The single-barrel selection brings a focused intensity that opens up with citrus lift and deep oak influence.
Enjoy it neat to appreciate the layers, or with a splash of water to reveal subtler caramel notes.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rye spice with bright citrus and a thread of caramel.
- Palate: Robust spice up front, tempered by rich caramel and oak-driven warmth.
- Finish: Long, drying oak with lingering pepper and citrus echoes.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
As a barrel pick offered at cask strength, this bottle delivers a rare, concentrated rye experience—excellent for collectors and serious sippers seeking a distinctive, high-impact pour.
Perfect For
- Slow, contemplative neat pours
- Barrel-strength cocktail experiments
- Gifting to rye aficionados and collectors
