Sagamore Spirit Distillery

Wife purchased the advanced mixology class for me for Father's Day, and we loved it. Great class, awesome people running the show, and amazing whisky. Jonathan is a great teacher.

What a great place to stop by for 2-3 beers or remove the -!!! Hahaha. If you have time for the tour, Maeve, she is a tour guide and she is phenomenal!!!! She knows her stuff and allows time to ask questions and loves to answer!! Great sense of humor as well. The ryes are great, the chocolates are delicious, and the vibes are amazing!!! Dont miss out!!!

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.

Our distillery tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Maeve, was wonderful. I learned a lot and really enjoyed seeing the whiskey making process first hand.

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.

Tours are super fun. Very nice staff and clean establishment. Tour is very interesting and ends with a great tasting of all their varieties. Lasts about an hour. Highly recommend

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.

We had a great time! Our tour guide Lars was funny and knew his stuff. After our tasting we sat in the bar and had a could have drinks. It was great talking with the employees.

Great tour! Lars was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer any and all questions we had. Lead a great tasting as well!

Great tour, great whiskey. Will be coming back again!

Lara was knowledgeable and funny. Very interesting to learn of Rye’s origins in Maryland. Thank you

The distillery tour was a great experience! Our tour guide Paige was very friendly and well-informed, and we got to get up close and personal with the entire distilling process! I can still smell the whiskey mash and the bottling room.
The tour finished with a tasting of five whiskeys, including their 8-year reserve, and one of their mixed cocktails - a great way to determine which whiskies I wanted more of!
It wasn’t warm enough to enjoy their great outdoor space along the water, so I plan to return again in the spring! All in all, a delightful evening.

Our visit to Sagamore Spirit was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this distillery is driven not only by its passion for crafting great rye whiskey but also by its commitment to supporting the local Maryland community.

Jake, our guide, made the experience unforgettable. His knowledge of rye whiskey, both its history in America and Maryland specifically, was impressive and engaging. He walked us through every step of Sagamore’s meticulous rye whiskey-making process, making it clear just how much care and craft goes into each bottle. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it added a whole new layer of appreciation to the tasting experience.

Speaking of the tasting—what a treat! Sampling their incredible lineup of ryes was the perfect way to cap off the tour, and Jake’s insights into each pour made it even better.

A big thank you to Dustin for setting everything up for us. This visit was a highlight for us, and we can’t wait to return or recommend it to others. Sagamore Spirit’s dedication to their craft and their community truly shines through in everything they do.

Lars was great. Informative tour and great tasting rye!

We did a tour at the last minute because we were in the area and it was a really enjoyable, educational, and polished experience. Unique to other whiskey tours we’ve done. Highly recommend. It’s a beautiful facility and fun, Maryland-centered approach.
