Sagamore Spirit High Rye Bourbon is a straight bourbon whiskey with a 6-year age statement and a relatively high bottling strength of 59.0% ABV. As a bourbon, it is made primarily from corn and matured in new charred oak, which typically gives a fuller, sweeter oak-led character.
The "high rye" style usually means a bourbon recipe with a larger proportion of rye grain, often adding more spice and lift than softer, sweeter bourbon styles. For a novice drinker, expect a bold, robust whiskey that may show both bourbon sweetness and a firmer spicy edge, especially at this proof.
