Fans of high-proof whiskey should be pleasantly surprised because this week, Sagamore Spirit announced the launch of a new batch of its award-winning Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. This 61.5% ABV whiskey was made with grains sourced from local farms. To make this innovative, 100% Maryland rye whiskey, high-rye, and low-rye whiskeys are triple distilled and matured for seven years before being blended together.

According to the brand, the result is a complex, nuanced whiskey with notes of dark chocolate, black cherries, cracked black pepper, leather, and oak tannins.

“All of us at Sagamore Spirit are thrilled to roll out our new batch of Cask Strength Rye Whiskey,” Ryan Norwood, VP of Operations at Sagamore Spirit, said.

“With an older age and a higher ABV compared to the previous batch, we are excited to see all consumer and trade reactions towards this new release.”

The best beers from California you can buy anywhere
California is more than just IPAs
Sierra Nevada

Currently, more than 9,000 breweries of all sizes operate in the US. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, and lagers to choose from. Some states are more saturated with breweries (per capita) than others. This includes places like Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and, of course, California. While I could take a deep dive into all the biggest beer-producing states, today is all about The Golden State.

I have a special affinity for California beer, and it’s because of one style in particular. Sure, you can find a beer style to fit every palate in the state, but in California, the IPA reigns supreme. In fact, if you look at almost any list ranking the best beers in the state, it will be littered with IPA options. While I often imbibe pilsners and other lagers (as well as wheat beers and other lighter beers) in the summer as well as stouts and porters (and other dark beers) in the winter, I always go back to the classic West Coast IPA.
