The first mash bill is high in rye, delivering bold spice and herbal tones, while the second features a lower rye content, offering a smoother and sweeter balance. The resulting whiskey is aged for 4 to 7 years in handmade, charred American oak barrels, which impart deep complexity and character. Bottled at an impressive 112.2 proof (56.1% ABV), this cask-strength rye showcases the art of blending and aging to perfection.\n\nAdditionally, this whiskey draws its smoothness from limestone-filtered water sourced from a historic spring at Sagamore Farm. This water, essential to the process, contributes a subtle creaminess to the spirit, embodying the unique heritage of Maryland Rye.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: A deep, roasted chestnut hue that hints at its rich and complex flavor profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aromas of dark chocolate, rye spice, and hints of menthol mingle with sweet caramel and light citrus zest.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: A bold yet balanced combination of dark chocolate, black pepper, and brown sugar, complemented by surprising layers of honeysuckle, citrus, and caramel.
