I have been to the facilities a few times for Whiskey on the Waterfront but never have done a tour. I attended a Thursday tour with a friend visiting from out of town. The tour guide Andrew I believe was knowledgeable, energetic and accommodating. The tour was great and ending the tour with the tasting was nice. The group was small so it allot for intimate conversations. I wish there as a coupon given at the end to use in cute gift shop.

Went there for the first time for a wiskey/chocolate pairing and tour. We got there a little early so we checked in and went to the bar for some tastings and a drink before the tour. Zach made us a couple great drinks he was great. Then we took the tour and (I think her name was) Paige was very personable and informative. We went from the tour to the pairing and it was a really cool room for the event. There were 4 different whiskeys 🥃 paired with 4 different chocolates 🍫. Each were good but a couple of them were amazing. The only draw back was that I bought 3 different whiskeys on the way out 😃🤷🏼‍♂️👍. Great overall first experience.

My wife and I went on the Sagamore Spirit Distillery tour with the chocolate pairing, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It was so cool to see how this excellent Maryland Rye Whiskey is made and to learn about the process firsthand. It truly was a lost art. Plus, the facility itself is absolutely beautiful, especially with its stunning location right along the water. Sagamore Spirit is truly a Baltimore gem and we highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable outing in the city!

Sagamore Rye is one of the best, so when in Baltimore we had to do the tour and tasting. Great way to spend the afternoon. Great location to have appetizers and cocktails before and finish off with some whiskey tasting. Guide was wonderful. The only recommendation I would make is to allow a little bit more time near the end of the tasting to fully enjoy the various whiskeys without being rushed.

Whiskey on the Waterfront was lovely. The weather worked in our favor. A beautiful warm summer afternoon. Spirits were flowing, live band covered various pop songs and the food trucks served up some great food and dessert.

Recently stopped by the Baltimore Peninsula area to meet a friend for happy hour @Rye Street Tavern. After arriving a little early, I decided to kill some time and walk around for a bit and check out the Sagamore Spirit Distillery, which is located a few feet away. As soon as I walked in, I realized I’d been to Sagamore Spirit Distillery many years ago for work. I will say that the first thing I that stuck me is the staff. They were all so nice and friendly and welcoming. As soon as you walk in you feel like you’ve stepped back in time a bit with all of the photos and merch and ambience being whiskey themed. It feels like you’re inside a cask Barrel. The front part is the store and check-in area. The store is filled with lots of merch for anyone who is a whisky fan! As you walk towards the back you’ll see a back bar and the tasting room. There was a tasting in process, so I didn’t venture too far into room. The back bar, however was free and clear. I ended up having a chat with Rachel!! Shout out to Rachel! She is a foodie @ heart! We had a such a great chat about the Baltimore food scene. Rachel is in the know. While I’m not a whiskey drinker, the tasting experience is one to check off the list. Once you’re done with the tasting, you can head over to one of the restaurants nearby to grab a bite to eat.

Snagged a spot at Sagamore’s 8th Anniversary Weekend Cocktail Class! Lars was an amazing instructor & the drinks were delicious. Before the cocktail class, we enjoyed the live entertainment & food truck for their anniversary weekend. Would highly recommend. :-)

I've been going to Sagamore Spirit since long before all the new builds and name (it's Port Covington!!!). I've done their distillery tour a few times and it's quite fun, especially if you get a comedic tour host. I love touring these kinds of places and learning how things are made. Sagamore sits on a nice piece of land next to water. It's near a plot of beautiful grass that makes it a great place to host parties (to which I've been to a few). I'm not much of a drinker but I do enjoy events at Sagamore, and the tours are good to take out of towners. Definitely recommend!

This was my first time visiting the distillery and I had a blast! My friend and I completed a tour and whiskey tasting. I learned so much about the making of rye whiskey and it's beautiful, deep history in Maryland. So if you love Maryland, this is the tour for you! It was easy to find parking, there is a large parking lot adjacent to the property. It was a little hard to find the front entrance due to construction, but we eventually found the front entrance. The tour started on time and it was approximately 45-60 minutes. The tour guide is energetic, informative, and Maryland spirited, which I loved! This tour gave me a deep appreciation of Maryland's history and the mission of Sagamore to bring back Rye Whiskey to many people's attention, because heck it's been around longer than Kentucky Burbon (which I also love). At the end of the tour, we had a guided tasting. Overall I had a great experience, I do wish there were more snacks available at the bar to eat so that we have some food after having strong whiskey. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, but I did not appreciate a staff member's "joke" about driving home while under some influence of whiskey, that is certainly not a good look! Such commentary takes away from the inclusive, safe experience of whiskey tasting. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone interested in a whiskey tasting, especially Maryland enthusiasts! But make time aside to just rest after the tour to explore the town or watch the pretty sailboats float in the backyard of Sagamore.

So there we were, smack in the middle of the holiday season, on a quest for the ultimate in DIY holiday cheer. Sagamore's Classic Cocktails Class was calling our names because, let's face it, who needs a bartender when you can learn to shake and stir like a pro yourself? We navigated our way through Port Covington, just past the future Under Armour HQ, found a spot in the parking lot of the future Rye Tavern Restaurant, then wound our way along the future sidewalks past the future occupancy apartment buildings. Clearly Baltimore's version of a Chinese Ghost City, the only signs of life were two rent-a-cops on patrol. Were we too late for the apocalypse? Had the city been evacuated, and we missed the memo? Note to self: always check FEMA alerts before heading to Port Covington. The Sagamore Distillery itself stood as a beacon of civilization in this eerily quiet landscape. Its massive gift shop tempted us with all things Sagamore branded -- booze, cocktail sets, clothes, and yes, even candles. We snagged one because nothing says Rye Whiskey like a sandalwood scented soy candle with hints of amber and musk. Eventually we were summoned into a classroom setting with two tiers of tables and chairs facing a huge set of screens displaying crime-free photos of the Baltimore waterfront (clearly computer generated). Now, as a devout Old Turkey enthusiast, I approached Sagamore Rye with a mix of skepticism and...more skepticism. It was a sacrifice I was willing to make for the sake of yuletide merriment. Our instructor, Jake, embodied the quintessential distillery worker -- bearded, LL Bean-ish, John Deere style baseball cap, someone who clearly knows his way around a vat of corn mash. I suspected many of our fellow classmates leaned more towards Orange Crushes and Fireball shots in their regular repertoire of libations, rather than Sazeracs and Black Manhattans. But hey, who am I to judge? Jake masterfully guided us through the alchemy of cocktail preparation, arming each student with the tools and ingredients to craft a Sazerac and a Black Manhattan. All the while, he regaled us with tales of Maryland Rye Whiskey -- a tipple with a sweeter and milder profile compared to its rye counterparts. In conclusion, if you ever find yourself wandering through the empty streets of Port Covington, wondering if everyone else got the memo about the evacuation, do yourself a favor: head to Sagamore's Classic Cocktails Class. It's a fantastic way to spend an evening, learning the art of mixology while pondering the mysteries of urban development.

Learning about the history of Rye Whiskey especially In Maryland was an experience. First time ever in a working distillery and the host/tour guide was awesome. Good price for a tour and tasting and history lesson.

I hosted a group of friends for their annual holiday lighting festival. It was raining all day but so blessed that the rain tapered off as this event started. There were about six food trucks there ranging from fresh oysters to a nacho bar. There were also vendors selling beer as well as promoting their restaurant and offering cake pops to dip. I've done the tour if you times before so did not sign up for this one although the ladies who did said they enjoyed it however most couldn't finish the whiskey samplings at the end with some being over 100 proof. I grabbed there tomorrow after sampling it and it coming highly recommended by a staff member during a recent visit and have been mixing it with apple cider to celebrate the season. It pairs extremely well. We were given samples of their doppelbock find extremely joyous staffer who so passionately described how it was created. It took the "Christmas Tree" three countdowns before it decided to light and it was definitely worth it. I love the faux snow and the whimsical scenery it created with the lit barrels.

I've been here to do a whiskey tour in the past, which was very informative and cool, but I truly love the whiskey on the waterfront events. It's a nice to be outdoors where everyone is just relaxing and enjoying the weather--and some whiskey. GLOWS: -It's a free event. You can bring food , drinks (no alcohol), tents, and other supplies you need. -The waterfront location is golden! -There is always a good selection of food vendors -You have the space to make it the kind of hangout you'd like to have GROWS: -I wish the music selections had more variety -In the future having some planned activities could make it more lively.

I went on the distillery tour, and it was very fun and informative. It was very clean and well maintained. The guide was great, He was funny and kept us entertained. The tasting at the end was the best. It's great learning about the different types of whiskey. My favorite part, however, was the gift shop. There were so many great gifts to purchase, especially for a bartender. I definitely will be back.

Jake, our tour guide, was very exciting and energetic. He gave our tour group a great introduction to the history of the distillery and walked us through some of the details of making rye whiskey. Sagamore has a long history in the U.S. and it's cool to see the whole process here on campus. The staff here at nice and knowledgeable. The setting is clean and bright, The tasting session came with 4 different whiskies and a tasted of their canned cocktail, but next door in the bar room there were additional tastings of other whiskey finishes. Overall, it was a great experience!

This was a great tour and the guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. I don't like Rye but I wanted to try something new and I'm so glad I did. This is a hidden gem of a place for anyone who loves rye or wants to try rye this is for you. The tour lasts about 1 hour and is not only a wealth of knowledge but fun and interesting. The facility is immaculate and there is lots of free parking Loved this and definitely recommend.

I'm so glad I visited Sagamore. It's a beautiful distillery with great views and grounds. I absolutely love that there is so much outdoor space. The indoor tasting room is a little small, but there is a great deck and then plenty of additional outdoor seating. A dedicated parking lot makes it easy to visit as well. Staff was friendly and really enjoyed my reserve tasting. I liked the Ravens Home Reserve the best, especially after opening it up with some drops of water. I definitely want to try cocktails when I return. The gift shop was nice and I picked up some hot sauce that I'm excited to try. I highly recommend Sagamore.

Was in the area and came by Sagamore Spirit Distillery. Overall the facility aesthetic is nice. I had the Rye flight and it was ok. They are currently doing a show on every 3rd Saturday for the Summer. It's a nice place to conjugate with friends for a quick drink. One thing to point out is that this establishment doesn't honor its promotion for the orange crush. They mentioned that Yelp creates them. Not sure if that is true or not, but wanted to mention it.

I scheduled a cocktail making class as a social event for my job. We all had a great time. The class was $35 and we made two seasonal cocktails which I think was well worth it. Keyah was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, fun, and knowledge about all the products and ingredients. This is perfect for date night, girls night out, group fun, etc.

The facilities and location are beautiful. Our tour guide Jake was fun, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the process of whiskey making from its early beginnings to its present day process. We even learned what happens to the not so perfect batches. The tasting room is beautiful and located next to the onsite bar and a few steps to the store where you can purchase a few bottles to take home with you. The whiskey gets stronger with each sample but I enjoyed the process. LOL! Nextdoor is the Rye Street Tavern which has bites to eat and outdoor space to relax, sip on your beverage of choice while enjoying the views of the Patapsco River. They were not open when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon at 3PM which was fine because we had just come from having a fulfilling lunch 25 minutes away.

This distillery offers an unparalleled experience for both connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike. Their range of beverages is nothing short of exceptional, with each sip delivering a symphony of flavors crafted with expertise. What truly sets this establishment apart, however, are its incredible events, which captivate visitors with their creativity and entertainment value. Perched in a top-tier location overlooking the water, the venue provides a stunning backdrop for gatherings, offering a multitude of seating options to suit any occasion or preference. Whether enjoying a leisurely drink or attending one of their exciting events, this distillery promises an unforgettable experience against the backdrop of breathtaking views.

My sister and her wife were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary and decided to start the festivities off here! Very artistic modern style area with a beautiful view. They booked for us and their friends a tasting and a water taxi tour that left from the port behind their building. Archer guide Ryan and the bartender ivy or absolutely fabulous! Everyone had a blast on the water taxi as well getting to see beautiful Maryland and talking and drinking. Hopefully will not have booked the seven adventure for myself as I'm not a huge drinker but I'm very happy that I was able to partake in this experience my favorite drink was the iced tea they provided us before getting onto the water taxi hands down my favorite!

Rye whiskey, the spirit of Maryland. The alcohol in the nations, first cocktail, Sarzarak. On the third Saturdays of the month, they have different food trucks, artisans, drink specials, which makes it a great place to hang out by the water and enjoy friends company.

We attended a 1pm tour with two of our friends and we had such a great time! Leah, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and funny, she made the tour great! It was really cool to see everything behind the scenes, I learned so much about whiskey and the distilling process in the 30 minute tour. After the tour, you get to do a little tasting, which was great! If you're not a whiskey drinker, this will teach you so much about the flavors and notes. It also helps you quickly identify the ones you like and the ones that are a bit strong for your taste. Overall, I definitely recommend the tour!

Went here a few Saturdays ago for the Whiskey on the Waterfront event and had a good time as always. It was the last one for the year, so I had to make it. It was a beautiful day outside despite being a bit windy. There was a good crowd of ppl, but due to the space, it didn't feel cluttered. Ok, let's get into the good I had while there. I didn't get into too much bc there were only 2 food options(which I personally feel was fine given the event), B'more Greek, and Jimmy's seafood. I love lamb, and B'more Greek has one of the best lamb over rice dishes, iykyk. Lol. I followed that up with an IPA by Lost Generation Brewing Company called Folly to the World. This is brought to you guys by way of a collaboration between Lost Generation Brewing Company and Sapwood Cellars, which I believe is located in Columbia. I'm not really a beer drinker, but I really did enjoy this one. Sagamore, of course, had their own tent set up where you could purchase shots of their whiskey as well as some of their many canned cocktails. The Honey Paloma is my favorite so far. The distillery itself was open as well, and I ended up buying a bottle of their new Herbal liquor called Amoro. It's absolutely delicious and mixes well with whiskey. So all in all, it was a great Saturday for me, and Whiskey on the Waterfront is an event you should be sure to check out when it comes back(in assuming next year). If you've been before, let me know how you felt about it. If you have yet to go, do yourself a favor and make sure you make it next year. Until next time... much love and be safe out there, folks. P.S....I obliged a pic of the IPA I mentioned and just some cloud pics to show the beautiful day. You'll also be able to see a bit of what the crowd was like.

Finally made it out here on a Saturday afternoon for a tour. We started in the bar and shortly after we arrived the place was hopping. I thought, like us, visitors were here for a cocktail before the tour but not really. I can see why cause our Old Fashioned and seasonal Hot Cider were excellent! Our Tour lasted about an hour. Our guide was knowledgeable & she shared some good historic information about Rye Whiskey along with the Sagamore Distillery process. The highlight of the tour was the tasting which had 5 samples. I liked the Double Oak the most. Very smooth with Hazelnut and Pecan notes. Canned Cocktails (whiskey) were tasty also but pack a punch given the ABV%. A good variety of flavors-Orange Crush, Ginger & Rye, Homey Paloma (our favorite) and Lemon Tea Fizz to name a few. Picked up a couple of items from the shop that also had a good selection of Sagamore merchandise. Excellent tour and vibe! Will be back during warmer months.

Great location, good booze, ok service, poor value. I have been here half a dozen times. I live less than a mile away, and it is nice to come down and walk by the water or tour the distillery. The drinks themselves are solid too. I think you can do better for the money, but it is fun to drink and support local. Where this place really falls down for me is everything else. If you want to go make an afternoon of it and get food or cocktails on site, be prepared to overpay and get mediocre service. Also, they closed their restaurant shortly after I bought a gift card. I have tried to contact them about this but have never gotten a response. They sometimes put on events and these can be fun and have a nice atmosphere, but it can be a zoo and they don't do the best job with logistics. Multiple times I have done a u-turn and gone home because of the gridlock.

Went to Sagamore's Tree Lighting event, which included food, music, and drinks. I went with my best friend and had such a great time. There were food trucks there with a variety of options, we chose Jimmy's Seafood, the crab cake sandwich was phenomenal. We went to Sagamore's drink tent and grabbed a Hot Toddy, you got to choose which flavor of whiskey you wanted added to the hot toddy- it did the trick, lol. Even though it rained, it was still a great time and I look forward to coming to more events with Sagamore in the future

Took a tour here a few weekends ago and had a blast! Learned a lot on the tour and it was really interesting to see the facility. We had four drinks to try after the tour, and then we got to visit the gift shop (always my favorite part). When we were there, they were also having an oyster/beer/blues festival of some sort and there were a lot of booths, food trucks, etc. People brought tents and picnic blankets and were camping out on the lawn. A great community vibe which we really enjoyed. Two thumbs up on the whole experience!

Went for the final Whiskey on the Water this season. Wish we would have gone to all the others! Food trucks were good, atmosphere was nice, and the cocktails and whiskey I had was great. The staff that helped me with the tasting was very informative. Definitely want to go back soon and purchase their distillery exclusive Dopplebock Whisky.

Deidra was fantastic! She had a lot of knowledge and was definitely able to handle our crowd. Last tour of the day! I am so happy I could support this local business. Also let's be clear I love whiskey . In fact that's all I drink aside from red wine when I do drink. "I don't drink to sip, I sip to tip". Any who this place is pretty cool and the young lady heading up the tour was super cute and very knowledgeable. This place has come from essentially nothing to being a high-level whiskey distillery. It was impressive to listen to where it started and where it is today going from just being in Maryland to now 48 states pretty cool. I was very happy to get a bottle from this place. The tasting room was absolutely beautiful and the grounds beautiful too! As we were ending the tour we noticed a bunch of people literally sitting on the water enjoying the beautiful Saturday afternoon. I will have to come back one of these days to do just that. The whiskey! Let's just say I'm what you call a whiskey girl I have my favorites my number one whistle pig, buffalo trace, makers Mark. My new whiskey is Sagamore spirit. This whiskey is smooth and it's 83 proof. When Diedra told us the story of how they got their proof number I thought that was pretty cool! I can't say enough of the good things about this place and how impressed I was with everything I would definitely recommend for an afternoon of fun and a cool and cool scenery. We will definitely be back to this place! Mahalo for the good whiskey and good vibes !

Excellent tour and history of Rye in MD! Great pace of tour and tour guide Georgina was fun. Tasting feature d several Ryes and chocolate! The facility is beautiful and on the water. We left as fans. It was an excellent thing to do to get out of the August heat. The cocktail bar was excellent. I recommend the Black eyed Rye!

Sagamore is an absolutely beautiful distillery located right on the water in the Locust Point area. There's a ton of construction going on around here recently so it might appear that the road leading up to the distillery is closed (and your GPS may tell you that too) but don't be fooled. There's still a little pathway on the seemingly closed road that will take you right to the distillery! There's usually plenty of free parking (with the exception of a huge event sometimes). The bar is quick to make you a signature cocktail and their canned cocktails are actually really tasty too. They also offer tours and have a pretty cool gift shop. The inside is clean and beautiful including the bathrooms. The only downside is that the bar closed pretty early at 8pm so be sure to head there early. There's lot of outdoor seating so you can catch the sun setting over the water. You can also bring your own food in to enjoy while sipping a cocktail. I recently came by for a $4.10 cocktail as part of the Yelp 410 Deal offered every Friday in June. I highly recommend it as it is a great price for a delicious treat!

I love Sagamore. It has a beautiful waterfront view. The tour of the distillery is fun. Best of all, I love their rye, which is an alcohol I normally hate (although I do love whiskey and bourbon). We've always enjoyed our drinks including a yummy hot apple cider one in the winter. Pro tip: order a drink with the blackberry syrup they make. Also, the pineapple canned beverage is my favorite one! The store has some cool stuff including delicious smelling candles made by a mom and pop shop which uses recycled glass.

I haven't been here for a few years so had to update my review of the Sagamore Spirit Distillery. It's the 5 year anniversary of their opening and they have a variety of events. I signed up to do a glass blowing class and arrived a little early so I could check out the distillery. Be aware that there is construction going on in the area so be carful flowing your GPS directions. Mine had me going through a street that was closed. I knew about the construction and knew to not follow my Phone gps. There was a food truck parked out back and live music on the lawn. I grabbed some cheesesteak egg rolls and first sat out on the back patio are. There was a bar out there but it was not open at the time. Directly inside there was a bar inside the cocktail lounge to purchase drinks at. They only serve a few cocktails and of course you can buy glasses of all of the Sagamore Rye Whiskeys. It started raining so I had to go inside. Unfortunately it was raining so my glass blowing class was canceled. The staff was more that accommodating and since the tour still had some openings they allowed me to join in. It was very informative and the tor guide was entertaining. At the end of the tour there was a tasting. It contained 3 samples of their regular whiskeys the 83 proof, the double oak, and the cask. There was a sample of the Black Eyed Rye cocktail and the Rum Barrel Aged as well. Definitely a 5 start experience. I can't wait to return for some of their summer events.

Really enjoyed my experience here. The tasting tour was about an hour. The people that work here customer service is excellent. Really nice sitting outside by the water, or inside at the bar.

Great experience!

This is actually one of my favorite spots to have a drink in Baltimore! I've been here about 5 times since the start of the year. They have a great view and peaceful location. All the drinks I've tried have been great including two of their pre made can drinks. If you have a chance to visit while they have their whiskey lawn event days with live music I highly suggest it before fall rolls around. However if going out when the weather is cooler is more of your thing then visit around October when their fall drinks come on the menu and you won't be disappointed

I've attended several events at Sagamore Spirit Distillery. The staff is always welcoming and so much fun. Whether it's the cocktail making class, whiskey tastings or Whiskey on the Waterfront, I've always had a great time. The cocktails are delicious and of course so is the whiskey.

My husband and I were brewery hopping while in the city on Sunday. We ended up driving past Sagamore and decided to stop as a last minute decision. I don't like whiskey but my husband does. We ultimately wanted to stop for just a drink but were just on time to start the 2pm tour. We jumped in and are so glad we did. The tour was excellent and I learned a lot. It was only $20 a person and came with a whiskey tasting at the end. The tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Afterwards we grabbed a drink at the bar. When it came to the tasting, my husband drank his and mine! I was told the watermelon crush at the bar did not taste like whiskey. Holy cow was it good! I did not taste any whiskey and drank the whole drink. I was shocked. I would drink it again in a heartbeat! They also have a great gift shop for your whiskey lovers!

This is my second tour I've done but my first at sagamore. We had so much fun! The tour guide Jake was so much fun! I enjoyed myself we got sample whiskey and the store was great and had things you couldn't find in the regular store.

The tour of the distillery was about an hour long and was really informative and fun. There are elevators for those with mobility issues. I never realized that I liked Rye Whiskey until I went!

Enjoyed a nice afternoon tasting aged whiskey. Our guide gave us a brief history of how whiskey was part of the Baltimore history and is making a comeback. We were socially distanced from the other group, totally 5 of us. At our seats we were given 4 samples of their various whiskey. Each had a smooth flavor. Some with a hint of vanilla to cinnamon. I will not give away all the flavors, but will say it is worth trying even you are not a drinker like myself. They have a gift shop, where you can purchase their four bottles of whiskey, as well as novelty items including glasses, shot glasses, decanters, socks, ties, shirts, and more. Items are fairly priced. After our tasting, we did try their drink specials. We had the Mint Julep and the peach iced tea that included their signature whiskey. Sadly the restaurant was not open, but hope it will reopen. The view around the distillery was breathtaking. We took advantage to sit on the deck and then out in the yard in the most comfortable seats. Highly recommend.

Came for a tasting and to hang out. They allowed my friend to decorate a couple of the picnic tables on the waterfront and they also brought in some charcuterie boards. There was no food available for purchase. They have live music and it's a nice vibe. I enjoyed the tour the most. We were with Kia and she was phenomenal! Very educated on the process, engaging, and funny. Give this girl an equity award! The actual whiskey was ok, I liked it much better in a cocktail. We parked on the pier side and walked down the path to the distillery. There was some construction but it was not bad at all getting there. I definitely recommend it for a fun outing with drinks, and you will learn something on the tour!

Sagamore Spirit Distillery is definitely a must try if your looking for something to do in Baltimore. Ive been to a lot of distilleries in my day. This one is newer and smaller. Rye is something unique to Maryland and Sagamore spirits is looking to really grow its brand and name in the industry. The tour is affordable and maybe an hour max from start to finish. The view of the water is amazing! The development around the distillery is up and coming. Within the next 2-4 year, it will be a bustling mixed use development all of its own. So get in before it becomes too crowded and too hard to find parking lol. Ted was our tour guide. Big props to Ted, he was knowledgeable. I could tell he had experience in the industry and enjoyed working at Sagamore Spirits. There is a bar directly beside the tasting room. We grabbed a few cocktails there and enjoyed the ambiance and winter wonderland view.

This was our first time visiting Sagamore Spirits Distillery. We took the hour tour and whisky tasting. Both were fantastic! The distillery buildings we toured were great. The tour guide and everyone there were very nice. They had a great gift shop with many bottles of their whisky as well as other things. I purchased a few bottles of whiskey and they even packed the bottles in a box for shipping within the state. Thanks all for a great day! Stuart

Yelp fam!!!!! Back with a review on one of my favorite places on earth the Sagamore Spirit Distillery. I've been here multiple times for different things but this review is focused on the Penny's Proof launch. "What a journey! Our 3.5-year-old Maryland Distilled Straight Rye Whiskey is here. It enjoyed another chilly winter and humid Maryland summer inside the staves of charred oak. Now, it's time to try it. Read on to learn more about where we've been and where we're headed. " This event happens every year, where you can get 3 small bottles of the Penny's Proof for just 1 cent. After going the initial year I'm addicted! Being apart of getting these first batches has been really cool, not to mention "whiskey Thieves" is a dope name. This year we woke up around 4am and were in line by 5am. The line started before we got there, then after we arrived dozens of cars were behind Luckily with good planning went pretty fast and we got our 2 sets! Along some extra whiskey and mixers that we ordered online! The whiskey was great and we made some holiday cocktails with the cranberry simple syrup and bitters. I'm not doing it justice for the experience, check out the video from this year from sagamore! https://sagamorespirit.com/pennysproof/ You might even catch me for a second in the video! Overall being apart of this first batch has been really dope. I recommend checking out the distillery for a tour when you can! Cheers
