Whiskey & Wine Reunite in Sagamore Spirit's Latest Reserve Series Release

Sagamore Spirit releases Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series Sherry Finish Rye Whiskey, which combines PX Sherry wine from Spanish vineyards and golden brown Maryland rye whiskey.  SRP: $79.

It's the second time Sagamore Spirit has released a sherry finish.  For this year's release, Sagamore Spirit aged its 4-year-old straight rye whiskey for an additional 18 months in 132-gallon PX Sherry barrels, coaxing forth a rye whiskey with velvety notes of toasted almond, dried fig, candied orange peel and soft spice. The structured oak profile of Sagamore Spirit's whiskey balances the bouquet of dried fruit and honey left from the PX Sherry wine, creating a complex, yet approachable, 106-proof rye.
