From April 21-22, Sagamore Spirit will celebrate its distillery’s first anniversary success – including 33,000 visitors — the way it knows best: by inviting whiskey fans to the facility in Port Covington, Baltimore, for tours, rye whiskey sampling, live music, food from Baltimore purveyors – even waterfront cycle classes, and more.
“It’s been a wild ride growing into our own as a distillery this past year,” said Sagamore Spirit President Brian Treacy. “Now it’s time to raise a glass to the people who create Sagamore Spirit’s success every day, our passionate fans and teammates, and thank them for creating an energy you can just feel walking around this building.”
Maryland’s reputation for fine rye whiskey craft dates back to Colonial times. The state was home to more than 40 distilleries before Prohibition and World War II took their tolls, finally dwindling down to dormancy by the early 1970s.
