Intro: 

• 112 proof
• $55 OHLQ price
• A blend of 2 ryes
  • A high rye and a low rye
  • It is a maryland style rye
    • 1933 maryland was home to ⅓ of american rye whiskeys 
    • They stopped producing it to make ethanol for the war effort
    • Then corn subsidies all but wiped out the rye production
  • Sagamore is sourced now by MGP but plans are to be fully Maryland made (possibly by 2021)
    • When you source from MGP you can:
      • Take what they have and put it in your name
      • Work with them to create something
      • Bland some of their mashes
        • They chose to blend a high rye and a low rye to make something distinctly maryland
• Whiskey Dic 
  • Cinimmon and clove nose
  • Tastes lower proof
  • Sweeter
  • Still has your rye
