Maryland Rye was once one of the country’s earliest and most sought after expressions of regionalized whiskeys. A flavor profile, a mash bill largely lost to us, but Sagamore Spirit of Baltimore is among a select group of American distilleries attempting to revive this once dominant category.  For me, it’s the perfect example of what localized ryes that have emerged from the East Coast over the last five years should represent. This week on Hear in Spirit, one of the founders, Brian Treacy, joined me remotely to taste our way through the line and talk about the history of Sagamore Spirits and the amazing but elusive category he and his team have dedicated themselves to restoring.
