After aging the straight rye whiskey for 4 to 5 years in high-char new American oak barrels, the distillers transfer the aged whiskey into toasted wave stave barrels for an additional 18 months. The increased surface area of the low-char, medium-plus-toast staves imparts Double Oak’s delightful caramel, toffee, hazelnut, and toasted coconut.
The classic Maryland-style rye whiskey is reimagined through this innovative aging process and then proofed with limestone-filtered water from their spring house built in 1909. The final spirit is a shining example of old meeting new.
Smooth caramel and rich toasted coconut. Nutty flavors of hazelnut and pecan meld perfectly with vanilla and caramel.

Sagamore Cold Brew Recipe: Whatever quantity of cold brew is desired, use a 4:1 ratio of water to coffee grounds. Combine water and coffee grounds in a sealed container and store in refrigerator. The longer the grounds steep, the stronger the cold brew, but more bitter the flavor. Strain the mixture to remove all coffee grounds. Store cold brew in refrigerator in a sealed container for up to one week. Need a quick fix? Substitute your favorite pre-made cold brew.
