Sagamore Spirit Distillery

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.

My experiences at Sagamore Spirit Distillery have been nothing short of exceptional. I've had the pleasure of visiting several times with family, including two fantastic cocktail classes and a tour of the distillery. Each visit, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable time; they’re incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely hilarious, keeping everyone entertained and making you feel right at home. The grounds themselves are beautiful, with several inviting outdoor bars and a charming on-site restaurant. Whether you're relaxing with a drink under the open sky or exploring the distillery, the ambiance is truly unique and adds to the overall experience. If you're in search of a memorable activity that combines fun, learning, and a bit of local culture, Sagamore Spirit Distillery is a perfect day or evening out.

Took their distillery tour followed by a tasting, which was delightful. After the tour, I grabbed two bottles to take home with me. Unfortunately the gift bag broke open and one of the bottles shattered. We went back the next day with the defective bag and they replaced the lost bottle for free, earning a new customer for life. Excellent whiskey and excellent service!

Did a Sunday noon tour with Andrew for a surprise birthday outing for my husband. Andrew has great energy and kept a lively pace. I think an hour is a perfect amount of time. The tasting at the end was terrific. This was a big hit with my husband.

Had a great weekend at Whiskey on the Water. Met a phenomenal server named Samira. She has professionalism, a great personality and definitely a wonderful person..she took time and patience with me and my circumstances even when it was crowded and hectic this past Saturday. Her great service shined through the unfortunate experience I had with another server at Sagamore. The server was a Caucasian woman with black hair in a Mohawk with a streak of green in her hair. I didn't get her name because she was rude. My bad experience began with watching her wait on everyone around me and another African American young man next to me at the outside bar. This young woman serviced all Caucasian individuals around us, but not me and the man next to me. Initially I thought it's crowded maybe she didn't see us, mind you we weren't together, I was there alone, but she ignored us blatantly several times. Finally in order to get her attention I had to scream across the bar and she finally came back over. I informed her that both of us needed service,but her demeanor was not friendly at all. In addition, we both finally ordered 1 drink a piece and I asked for my tab and she adds the man next to me drink on my bill. I asked for her to remove it and she says I thought you were together. Instead of asking she combined it together and got an attitude when I asked for her to correct it. She also gave the guy an extremely rude attitude when asking if he wanted to start a tab. He was so frustrated with her, he left soon after I did. Initially he asked his two sisters to join him down at Sagamore but changed his mind based upon the server with the black hair and Mohawk. For some reason, this server did walk away from us before paying both of our tabs , so this is where Samira stepped in and assisted both us. Samara also assisted me when I initially arrived at the outside bar and handled the busy crowd with nothing but professionalism. Thanks to her because she made the bad experience better. Another fyi. the young man sitting next to me is good friends with the Mayor of Baltimore Brandon Scott. He definitely said he would mention his bad experience to him regarding the poor interaction.

Third event we been to at sagamore and each time we bought different guests who all enjoyed the experience as much as we did....All the staff are amazing and very knowledgeable....particularly our tour guide Kia, she gives the best tours...The bartender, Jay is great and his drinks are Amazing !!

This was our second couples night doing the cocktail class and it did not disappoint! We had Keyah as our instructor, also for the second time, and she did not disappoint either! It’s always a great time and the cocktails were delicious!

Fun and informative tour with Leah. Product samples were great. 1909 drinks are fabulous!

My husband and I arrived and were greeted by the friendly front desk host. We were offered a sample of their latest fall drink. Our tour was scheduled for 2:00 pm on 11/8/24, honestly can’t remember our tour guides name but he was very friendly, informative and had a great sense of humor. Great day date!

Jake our tour guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. He had a great, up beat personality which was a hot to be around. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone! We got a sample cocktail before the tour started, and then got to sample four of their products afterwards.
