The first whisky he made was Hedonism — a blended grain Scotch at a time when grain whisky was almost universally dismissed as filler, invisible behind the malt whiskies it supported in standard blends. Twenty-five years later, Hedonism is not simply a great whisky. It is the bottle that changed the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 2025 Hedonism is the 25th anniversary release — a milestone that Compass Box marks not with nostalgia but with genuine creative ambition. The core composition draws from Cameronbridge (61.1%) and Girvan (10.1%) grain distilleries — two of Scotland's most respected grain whisky sources — aged 15 to 25 years, supplemented by 28.8% of older Hedonism stocks from the 2022 and 2023 batches. The distinguishing production decision for 2025 is the partial Marsala barrique finishing of a portion of the Cameronbridge component — two years in first-fill Marsala wine casks, introducing a layer of additional sweetness, stone fruit complexity, and a gentle red fruit dimension that pushes this annual release into genuinely new aromatic territory. The label was created in collaboration with Argentinian artist Sofia Bonati, whose dream-like female portraiture interprets the iconic Hedonism figure in a way that is entirely her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNon-chill filtered. No added colour. 9,912 bottles produced worldwide. The 25th anniversary release of the whisky that proved grain was worthy of its own spotlight — and that Compass Box was worthy of creating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCompass Box was established in 2000 by American-born John Glaser — a former Global Marketing Director at Johnnie Walker who left the corporate spirits world to pursue a vision of Scotch whisky as a creative medium rather than a commercial category. Operating from Chiswick, London as an independent blender and whisky maker, Compass Box has since built one of the most respected and intellectually rigorous portfolios in the Scotch whisky world — defined at every stage by absolute transparency in production, artistic ambition in design, and a commitment to quality that has earned it recognition from critics and collectors across every major market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHedonism was the first whisky Glaser created — conceived as a direct challenge to the prevailing assumption that grain whisky was inherently inferior to malt. His argument was simple and entirely correct: aged well, in quality American oak casks, grain whisky can be among the most delicious spirits produced anywhere in the world. The rich, creamy, vanilla-driven character that first-fill bourbon casks impart to well-aged grain distillate produces a profile of silky generosity and dessert-like pleasure that is not only distinctive but genuinely beloved by a wide range of drinkers — including those who find heavily peated or aggressively oaked malts challenging. Hedonism became a gateway whisky for thousands of drinkers who discovered blended grain through its approachability and converted into serious Scotch enthusiasts through its genuine complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 2025 release is built from six parcels of grain whisky spanning 15 to 25 years of age. The majority — 61.1% — is sourced from Cameronbridge Distillery in Fife, Diageo's flagship grain distillery and one of the oldest continuously operating grain whisky facilities in Scotland. A further 10.1% comes from Girvan Distillery in Ayrshire — William Grant \u0026amp; Sons' own grain facility, producing a complementary grain character. The remaining 28.8% consists of older Hedonism editions from the 2022 and 2023 annual releases — a blending decision that adds complexity, depth, and continuity across the annual release program. The defining new element for 2025 is the partial Marsala barrique finish applied to a portion of the Cameronbridge component — two years in first-fill Marsala wine casks from Sicily, whose naturally high sugar content and dried fruit character introduce additional sweetness, peach compote, and gentle red fruit notes that move the 2025 release beyond the purely vanilla-and-coconut profile of earlier expressions and into new aromatic territory. Current Whiskymaking Director James Saxon described the 2025 as \"unmistakably a Hedonism in style and texture, but with the addition of an ex-Marsala cask and some casks from previous batches, we were pushing the flavours into new areas.\" The finished whisky is bottled at 46% ABV — above the minimum required to preserve grain character — without chill filtration and without added colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThere are no widely published numeric scores from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Whisky Advocate, or Decanter available for the 2025 release at this time. The Hedonism series has earned consistent recognition across its history including multiple awards at the International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition and widespread critical praise as the defining expression of the blended grain Scotch category. The Whiskey Wash reviewed the 2025 as \"moreish, sweet, creamy\" with \"a finish that goes on for quite a while\" — calling it \"a rather wonderful way to celebrate\" the 25th anniversary and \"a great artistic bottle filled with rather wonderful tasting whisky.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e Initial waves of caramel and icing sugar open the nose with characteristic Hedonism sweetness — dessert-like, generous, and immediately inviting. At the heart of the 2025 nose: pure peach purée, the Marsala barrique's most distinctive aromatic contribution, alongside fresh pear and a rich cocoa note that adds depth and a bittersweet dimension. The American oak's contribution is present throughout — vanilla cream, powdered sugar, and fresh yeasty bakery bread providing the classic Hedonism framework — while nutmeg and a whisper of red fruit from the Marsala finishing add aromatic complexity and lift that distinguishes this release from its predecessors. Sweet dairy cream and light tangerine citrus complete the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e Silky, creamy, and mouth-filling — the mouthfeel is Hedonism's most immediately distinctive characteristic and the quality that converted an entire generation of whisky drinkers to the grain category. Mousse au chocolat and vanilla pudding lead the palate with dessert-like richness, deepening into nutmeg, cinnamon, and warm baking spice that build steadily through the mid-palate. The Marsala influence adds a layer of stone fruit sweetness — peach compote and a faint dried apricot quality — that lifts the center of the palate and adds a dimension of fruity complexity that purely bourbon-cask aged grain cannot achieve. Whipped cream, toasted coconut, powdered sugar, and soft wood notes weave through the whole — the 46% ABV carrying the flavors with genuine presence and warmth. The 2025 is slightly more fruit-forward and slightly less coconut-dominant than earlier expressions — a consequence of the Marsala finishing and the batch-to-batch evolution of the annual release program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, fruity, and silky warm. Fuji apple and bright grapes lead the close — the Marsala's lightest and most refreshing contribution — alongside sweet vanilla, soft oak, and a sustained warmth that lingers well past the swallow. The finish is one of the 2025's most praised characteristics: clean, medium-long, and more fruit-driven than the standard Hedonism profile, with nothing heavy or tannic to interrupt the elegant, dessert-friendly close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem]

natural aromatic richness to fully develop. A single large ice cube works beautifully, where the slight dilution and temperature change deepen the peach and vanilla notes over the course of the pour. The brand's own food pairing suggestions capture the 2025 perfectly: silky Parma ham with fresh pear, sweet and salted popcorn, or coffee and walnut cake alongside the slightly chilled pour. Also outstanding as a digestif served after a long dinner where a lighter, fresher alternative to heavily sherried or peated Scotch is called for. The 9,912-bottle global edition makes it a natural collector's purchase for the Compass Box enthusiast and the blended grain devotee alike — and the Sofia Bonati label artwork makes it one of the most visually striking bottles in the annual release series to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCocktail Suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHedonism's delicate, dessert-forward grain character is primarily designed for neat or slightly chilled enjoyment — the silky mouthfeel and fruit-forward 2025 profile are most apparent without dilution or ice.

The distillery in Loretto, Kentucky — founded by Bill Samuels Sr. in 1953, now in the hands of his grandson Rob Samuels as Managing Director, eight generations of the Samuels family in American whisky making — deliberately avoided age statements as a philosophical commitment to flavor-forward production rather than calendar-driven release. The decision to add a precise age statement to the Cask Strength beginning with the 2025\/2026 releases is not, as Rob Samuels is careful to explain, a philosophical pivot.

Amplified dark cherry, toasted oak, salted caramel, warm vanilla, and a harmonious finish of dark chocolate and soft spices. Seven years of Kentucky maturation. Nineteen to twenty-four barrels per batch. Non-chill filtered. Natural color.

William \"Bill\" Samuels Sr. in Loretto, Star Hill Farm, Marion County, Kentucky — a National Historic Landmark property whose limestone spring water, rolling Kentucky farmland, and the Samuels family's specific production philosophy have defined the distillery's identity across more than 70 years of continuous production. Bill Samuels Sr.'s founding decisions established the house style that every subsequent generation has maintained: the wheated mash bill — replacing the rye grain of most Kentucky bourbons with red winter wheat to produce a softer, gentler spirit — the rotation of barrels during aging to ensure uniform maturation across every level of the rickhouse, and the hand-dipped red wax seal that makes every Maker's Mark bottle immediately recognizable worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe distillery is now owned by Suntory Global Spirits (formerly Beam Suntory) and managed by Rob Samuels — the eighth generation of the Samuels family in American whisky making, whose stewardship has expanded the portfolio while maintaining the founding production philosophy with complete fidelity. The Cask Strength expression was introduced in 2016 after decades of fan requests for a barrel-proof Maker's — a release that Rob Samuels describes as the result of \"actually tasting this stuff right out of the barrel\" and recognizing that the wheated mash bill's natural sweetness and the 7-plus years of Kentucky oak produced something worthy of bottling without dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Batch 26-01 production is entirely consistent with the Cask Strength program's established parameters: 70% corn, 16% red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley distilled in Maker's Mark copper pot stills at the Loretto distillery, filled into new charred American oak barrels at a below-maximum entry proof that preserves more grain character in the new-make spirit, rotated during aging for uniform maturation, and assessed by the distillery's tasting panel at seven years for the batch-specific flavor profile confirmation. Nineteen to twenty-four barrels are batched together — a genuinely small batch in the context of Maker's Mark's production scale — non-chill filtered to preserve the full-bodied oils and texture that chill filtration would remove, and bottled at the natural barrel proof of the specific 26-01 batch without water addition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilm \u0026amp; Whiskey — 44\/50 overall (non-batch-specific cask strength review, 2026):\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Super consistent from nose to finish.

The nose opens with the amplified Maker's Mark house character that the distillery specifically describes as the Cask Strength's defining quality: everything that makes the standard 90-proof expression inviting, turned up to full concentration. Dark cherry leads with vivid, slightly sweet intensity — the wheated mash bill's most characteristic fruit note, softer and more approachable than the darker, more tannic cherry of high-rye expressions. Warm vanilla follows immediately — deep, slightly caramelized, and adding the secondary sweetness that seven years of American oak deposits most generously into a wheat-heavy mash. Toasted oak adds structural backbone alongside salted caramel — the specific sweet-savory combination that the distillery's own note identifies as the cask strength's most memorable aromatic quality. Orange peel and toffee add brightness and confectionary depth. Brown sugar and a whisper of dark chocolate add the richer, darker register. The alcohol is present at cask strength — noticeable but not aggressive, the wheated mash bill's natural softness moderating the proof's impact considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, sweet, and genuinely concentrated — the wheated bourbon's most generous qualities at full cask strength producing a mouthfeel of considerable coating richness. Toffee and brown sugar arrive first in the thick, satisfying wave that the Maker's Mark house style delivers at maximum concentration. Dark cherry and vanilla carry through with the same vivid intensity as the nose — the wheated mash bill's natural fruit character fully expressed without dilution's moderating influence. Salted caramel and toasted oak build through the mid-palate — the sweet-savory interplay that makes Maker's Cask Strength more interesting and more complex than the standard wheated cask strength style typically delivers. Orange peel adds a citrus brightness at the peak. Mild dry oak and tannins arrive in the mid-palate's final section — present, slightly drying, and providing the structural counterweight that prevents the sweetness from becoming simply indulgent. The 7-year age statement's contribution is most apparent here: greater integration and depth than younger cask strength releases, the oak and fruit having had full time to become genuinely unified rather than simply coexisting. A few drops of water dramatically opens the fruit and caramel notes while softening the proof's warmth into something particularly generous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long — sweet, spicy, and well-balanced across the whole duration. The sweet and spicy elements cycle through the close in the specific combination that Breaking Bourbon described as \"playing off each other nicely, keeping the highs and lows in check.\" Black pepper and dry oak arrive as the sweetness fades — the tannins providing the final structural element alongside a slight earthy quality at the very end. Dark chocolate and soft spices linger. The finish resolves into a clean, moderately warm, dry oak conclusion that is considerably more complete than the standard 90-proof expression achieves — the cask strength concentration sustaining the flavor through a genuinely satisfying close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem]

On that same day, in that same city, the Liberty Bell — already cracked, already legendary — was rung as part of the celebration. And somewhere in the streets of Philadelphia, people were drinking rye whiskey. Not Scotch. Not bourbon. Rye — the grain spirit that was, for the first century of American independence, as specifically and as completely American as any food or drink produced on the continent. Pennsylvania rye whiskey, specifically — the Monongahela tradition of the western Pennsylvania valleys, where rye-dominant mash bills, local water, and the specific culture of Scots-Irish and German immigrant distillers produced a whiskey that financed farms, greased commerce, and defined what American spirits tasted like before Kentucky's limestone water and corn-dominant mash bills established a different tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Bourbon is limited to one bottle per customer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRittenhouse Rye carries that Philadelphia heritage in its name: named for Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia's most elegant urban park, itself named for David Rittenhouse — astronomer, clockmaker, first director of the United States Mint, and one of the founding generation's most accomplished scientific minds. The brand was created in 1934, the year after Prohibition ended, by Continental Distilling Corporation in Philadelphia — a post-Prohibition revival of the Pennsylvania rye tradition that Heaven Hill acquired in 1999, relocating production to Bardstown, Kentucky while maintaining the mash bill and the Bottled-in-Bond standards that the brand's identity has always required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 250th Anniversary Edition is the most significant release in Rittenhouse's 92-year commercial history. Ten years old — more than twice the standard Bottled-in-Bond minimum — non-chill filtered, drawn from 90 carefully selected barrels aged across multiple rickhouses and floors at Heaven Hill's Bernheim Distillery in Louisville. \"This special release is a tribute not only to America's 250 years of independence, but also to the enduring legacy of rye whiskey in our country's history,\" said Molly Vincent, Heaven Hill's Associate Director of Luxury Whiskeys. The Liberty Bell packaging makes it explicit: this bottle is a commemorative object as much as it is a whiskey.

Named for Rittenhouse Square — the elegant park in Center City Philadelphia named for David Rittenhouse, the founding generation's most accomplished astronomer and the first director of the United States Mint — the brand honored both the place and the intellectual tradition of Philadelphia's founding culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHeaven Hill Distillery acquired the Rittenhouse brand in 1999 and has produced it at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky ever since — maintaining the Bottled-in-Bond standards and the mash bill that define the brand's identity while bringing the quality and consistency of Heaven Hill's production infrastructure to bear on what had become an obscure and undervalued American whiskey category. Heaven Hill's investment in Rittenhouse Rye is among the most commercially significant decisions in the brand's history: the standard Bottled-in-Bond expression became one of the most beloved and most widely used rye whiskeys in American bartending culture, and the 250th Anniversary Edition represents the long-term aging capability that Heaven Hill's commitment to the brand makes possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 250th Anniversary Edition is the most specific and most carefully assembled Rittenhouse release ever produced. The mash bill — 51% rye, 35% corn, 14% malted barley — is the same formula that has governed Rittenhouse production since the Heaven Hill era. The 51% rye minimum meets the legal requirement for straight rye whiskey and provides the bold, spicy character that defines the Rittenhouse house style. The 35% corn adds natural sweetness and mid-palate richness. The 14% malted barley contributes the enzymatic conversion activity required for fermentation alongside a slightly nutty, biscuity complexity in the finished spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTen full years in new charred American oak — more than double the standard Bottled-in-Bond minimum of four years — at Heaven Hill's Bernheim Distillery, where the Louisville urban heat island and the multiple rickhouse environments create a maturation program of genuine diversity. The 90 barrels selected for the 250th Anniversary Edition were drawn specifically from multiple rickhouses and floors — a deliberate multi-environment selection that captures the full spectrum of what 10 years in Heaven Hill's warehouse system produces in a 51% rye mash bill whiskey. Non-chill filtered, preserving the natural oils and congeners that give the finished whiskey its full-bodied texture. Bottled at exactly 100 proof — the Bottled-in-Bond Act's most specific and most historically authenticated quality requirement.

The nose opens with the Rittenhouse house character at its most fully developed: the 51% rye mash bill's bold, slightly wild grain spice arriving first with the warm, slightly medicinal quality that aged rye whiskey develops after extended oak contact. Vanilla and caramel from the 10-year American oak aging add the richly integrated sweetness that the standard 4-year BiB's younger oak delivers more sharply and more directly. Toasted nuts and biscuity malted barley add secondary aromatic depth. Dark cherry and dried fruits build from the interaction of rye grain compounds and decade-old American oak. Faint chocolate and dark cocoa add the most specifically 10-year contribution — the aged tannin transformation into something more complex and more specifically satisfying than the younger expression's more direct character. Banana and vanilla lanolin round the whole aromatic picture with a richness that the standard expression at 4 years does not fully achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied, bold, and considerably more integrated than the standard Rittenhouse BiB — the 10-year maturation's most directly apparent palate contribution in a mouthfeel of genuine richness and structural completeness. The rye spice arrives first with the characteristic Rittenhouse boldness — warm cinnamon, black pepper, and the slightly medicinal herbal quality that high-rye mash bills develop most specifically in American oak. But the 10-year oak's presence is equally immediate: the vanilla and caramel integration far more complete than the 4-year expression achieves, the tannin balance more harmonious, the overall impression of greater depth and greater unity between the grain and the wood character. Dark fruit — dried cherries, plums, and a hint of raisins — builds through the mid-palate alongside dark chocolate and toasted oak tannins. The 100-proof concentration delivers full-intensity warmth throughout — present and building but never harsh, the decade of barrel integration having softened the rye's most aggressive edges into something genuinely complex and genuinely rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, dry, and spice-driven — the Rittenhouse BiB house style at its most extended and most complex expression. Rye spice and oak tannins carry the close most persistently alongside black pepper and dark chocolate — the 10-year version's most enduring and most characterful finish contributions, considerably more complex and more sustained than the 4-year's cleaner, simpler close. Dried fruit notes persist faintly alongside vanilla and a final whisper of nutmeg. The non-chill filtration's natural oils add a slightly warming, slightly coating quality at the very end. The finish confirms what the 10 years and 90 selected barrels promised: this is Rittenhouse at its most fully realized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3

expressed without dilution. Allow 10 to 15 minutes of air for the full aromatic complexity to develop — the decade of barrel aging revealing its layered character progressively. A few drops of water opens the vanilla and dark fruit notes while softening the rye spice's most assertive edge. A single large ice cube works beautifully for a slower pour where the chocolate and dried fruit deepen as the temperature drops. The Liberty Bell packaging makes this an exceptional occasion bottle for any Independence Day, national holiday, or American heritage celebration — and the 10-year BiB quality makes it worthy of every glass poured from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCocktail Suggestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnniversary Manhattan\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(the definitive rye serve)\u003c\/em\u003e 2 oz Rittenhouse 250th Anniversary · 1 oz sweet vermouth · 2 dashes Angostura bitters · Luxardo cherry.

When the bottle is empty, Frank August's award-winning decanter design — with its removable back label and architectural minimalist profile — lives on as an elegant keepsake.

No heritage mythology. No frontier legends. No elaborate backstory. Just the whiskey, the blending, and the design — all three held to an uncompromising standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFrank August operates as a non-distilling producer, sourcing Kentucky straight bourbon from undisclosed distilleries and blending it in Bardstown — the Bourbon Capital of the World — under the close direction of Crocker and his team. Every bottle of Small Batch is assembled from precisely 10 to 15 hand-selected barrels, chosen for their complementary character and structural compatibility before being blended to a unified profile. While the exact age of the Small Batch is undisclosed, federal labeling regulations confirm a minimum of four years of maturation in new charred American white oak — and the depth of character in the glass suggests considerably more development than that legal minimum implies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe bourbon is bottled at 100 proof — 50% ABV — a deliberate choice that delivers full, expressive flavor without the aggressive heat that can mask subtlety in higher-proof expressions, and non-chill filtered to preserve the natural oils, texture, and aromatic compounds that the carefully selected barrels have developed. Frank August earned not only the World's Best Bourbon trophy at the 2025 IWSC but an additional two Double Gold and three Gold Medals at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition across its broader range — confirming that the Small Batch result was not an anomaly but the expression of a consistently exceptional blending program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe bottle itself has won multiple design awards and is a recognized object of contemporary craft — architectural, nearly label-free, with a removable back label that allows it to function as a permanent decanter once the bourbon is gone.

Warm cinnamon, mild baking spice, and a thread of sweet pipe tobacco emerge as the glass opens, with toasted oak and a whisper of dried cherry grounding the whole in genuinely mature Kentucky character. Rich, aromatic, and more complex than any 100-proof bourbon at this price point has any right to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e Velvety, full-bodied, and beautifully integrated — the non-chill filtration evident in the coating richness of the mouthfeel from the first sip.

Rye spice builds gradually through the mid-palate — cinnamon, nutmeg, and cracked white pepper — balanced by honeycomb, nougat, and a soft custard sweetness that reflects the careful barrel selection underlying every batch. Pear and sweet apple add fruit brightness alongside the deeper caramel notes, and a whisper of licorice and dried cherry add complexity at the very center.

A lawyer by training and a criminal by opportunity, he exploited a loophole in Prohibition's Volstead Act that permitted individuals to operate distilleries for medicinal whiskey, bought every working distillery in the greater Cincinnati area, and then had his employees hijack the whiskey shipments and sell them on the black market before double-dipping by filing insurance claims for the stolen product. He was eventually convicted, imprisoned, and — in a series of events too baroque to be fictional — ended up murdering his own wife after discovering that her lover, an undercover agent who had befriended him in prison, had helped her embezzle his hidden fortune while he served his sentence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity in twenty minutes.

Series No. 2 goes further and goes stranger: it is the first wheat whiskey the Remus brand has ever released, distilled from a 95% wheat mashbill in 2017, aged nine years in standard new charred oak barrels, then finished in four separate and specifically chosen wine casks — Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port — each contributing a distinct layer to what is, in every reviewer's description, a genuinely extraordinary result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\"There is nothing more exciting to a Master Distiller than having the space for exploration,\" Ian Stirsman said at the release. \"With Series No. 2, I set out to create something entirely new for Remus by working with our LKSV, 95% wheat whiskey mashbill for the first time.

The facility uses naturally limestone-filtered water from the Great Miami Aquifer throughout production, and its portfolio encompasses everything from its widely distributed high-rye bourbon mash bill to the experimental, limited-production releases that Ian Stirsman has been building since taking over as Master Distiller in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Experimental Series was created specifically to give Stirsman what most master distillers at volume-production facilities are rarely afforded: a blank canvas. Series No. 1 used a 9-year bourbon in unusually toasted barrels. Series No. 2 goes in an entirely different direction — away from bourbon entirely, into territory that Ross \u0026amp; Squibb has explored for other brands but never released under its own Remus label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe base spirit is Ross \u0026amp; Squibb's LKSV mash bill — 95% wheat, 5% malted barley — distilled in 2017 and aged for nine years in standard 53-gallon new, charred American oak barrels. After nine years of standard maturation, the fully aged wheat whiskey was divided across four different finishing casks: Tawny Port, White Port, Oloroso Sherry, and Ruby Port, with the finishing composition running approximately 75% Oloroso Sherry and Ruby Port, and 25% Tawny and White Port, with White Port as the smallest component. Each cask type contributes a distinct aromatic and flavor dimension — the Oloroso Sherry's dried fruit and walnut richness, the Ruby Port's vivid red fruit, the Tawny Port's dark sugar and oxidative depth, and the White Port's lighter, more delicate and nutty secondary quality. The finished components are then blended and bottled at natural cask strength — 113 proof \/ 56.5% ABV — without chill filtration, in a 700ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood Spirits News — A+ Rating (confirmed):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"High malty, port-driven notes are mouthwatering on the nose.

Casa Sarti has spent the century and a half since its founding making the spirits that belong on that table — specifically, the aperitivi that mark the moment between the day ending and the evening beginning, the drinks that sharpen the appetite and open the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSarti Rosa is what a modern Italian aperitivo looks like when a house with 140 years of experience decides to speak directly to the current moment. The color is unmistakable — intense pink with a subtle pink-purple reflection, vivid enough to photograph beautifully and warm enough to look genuinely inviting in any glass. The flavor profile is built around three specific ingredients chosen for their complementary characters: the tangy, slightly bitter sweetness of sun-ripened Sicilian blood oranges; the lush tropical richness of mango; and the bright, slightly tart acidity of passion fruit. These combine into something that sits in the aperitivo category alongside Aperol and Campari but tastes meaningfully different from both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhere Aperol leads with orange bitterness, Sarti Rosa leads with floral and berry notes — rose, raspberry, and rhubarb forward, with the bitterness staying in the background rather than taking the lead. The result is a drink that is more approachable for guests who find traditional aperitivi too harsh, without being sweet to the point of cloying. \"Sweet and sour with a distinctive fruity flavor\" in the distillery's own description. Full-bodied sweetness with pronounced fruity notes and a touch of sourness. The perfect Sarti Spritz — three parts Prosecco, two parts Sarti Rosa, one part soda water, ice, and a slice of lime — is the drink that a table full of people can gather around and agree on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCasa Sarti was founded in Bologna in 1885, establishing itself across nearly 140 years as one of Italy's most respected houses of aperitivo and liqueur production. Bologna's position as the gastronomic heart of Italy has shaped Sarti's production philosophy from the beginning: the aperitivo is not merely a drink but a ritual, the civilized pause that Italian culture specifically and deliberately reserves for the transition between the workday and the pleasure of the evening table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSarti Rosa is produced from a carefully selected combination of botanicals, herbal extracts, and fruit essences whose specific identity forms part of the house recipe. The three defining ingredients — sun-ripened Sicilian blood oranges, mango, and passion fruit — are chosen for the harmonic balance between citrus tartness, tropical richness, and sweet-sour fruit acidity they produce together. The blood orange sourced from Sicily specifically provides a characteristic that ordinary orange cannot replicate: the darker, more intensely aromatic, slightly bitter skin oils of the blood variety that give Sarti Rosa both its color depth and its most specifically Italian regional ingredient identity. The mango and passion fruit add the tropical dimension that makes the profile feel contemporary and international while remaining anchored in the Italian aperitivo tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt 14% ABV, Sarti Rosa occupies the same low-alcohol aperitivo category as Aperol, making it ideal for daytime drinking, brunch occasions, and extended aperitivo hours where lower proof is a genuine advantage. The bright pink color — described by independent reviewers as \"neon pink\" and \"intense pink with subtle pink-purple reflection\" — is a deliberate aesthetic choice that photographs vividly and carries the drink's character into the visual experience before the first sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNo published numerical critic scores are available for Sarti Rosa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSarti Rosa official tasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Intense pink with subtle pink-purple reflection.

In 2006, when he founded Garrison Brothers Distillery in the small Hill Country community of Hye — a place that appears on the map primarily because it has a post office, a peach orchard, and now, the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history — he did so against the conventional wisdom that said the Texas climate was no place to make serious bourbon. The heat, the humidity swings, the dramatic temperature differences between summer and winter — everything that makes Scotland ideal for Scotch and Kentucky ideal for bourbon — was supposed to make Texas a hostile environment for whiskey making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIt turned out, instead, to be an accelerant. Texas summers push the spirit deep into the barrel stave with an intensity that Kentucky's more moderate seasons cannot replicate, extracting wood compounds, vanilla, caramel, and toffee at a speed that condenses years of aging into a more concentrated and more dramatically flavored spirit. What takes Kentucky four years can happen in Texas in a fraction of the time — which is why Garrison Brothers' bourbons, despite their relatively modest age statements, carry the depth and concentration of considerably older spirits from cooler states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe PX Sherry Cask Finished expression is part of the Ranch Reserve Series — the distillery's most ambitious and the most specifically innovative tier of releases. It begins with the same sweet mash bourbon that defines Garrison Brothers: food grade #1 white corn sourced from South Texas farms, distilled and barreled in Hye. After four years in toasted and charred white American oak, select barrels were moved into Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Spain's Jerez region for another four years of aging — eight total years in two distinctly different oak environments. Pedro Ximénez is the most intensely sweet and the most specifically concentrated sherry style produced anywhere in Jerez: grapes sun-dried until they raisin, their natural sugars concentrated to extraordinary levels before fermentation, producing a wine of extraordinary depth whose casks coat their interior staves with layer upon layer of dark fruit, raisin, fig, and concentrated sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe result, in Garrison Brothers' own characterization: \"dark, layered, and built for savoring — PX brings richness and depth to the whiskey, drawing out notes of raisins, figs, and toffee while still letting the bourbon speak in its own Texas voice.\" Rich aromas of chocolate, toffee, caramel, raisins, figs, and candied fruit layered with deep sherry sweetness. A palate of dark berry jam, baked apple, warm cinnamon, vanilla, and rich oak spice. A finish of molasses, dried fruit, and long warm spice. Texas bourbon and Spanish sherry — an entirely natural pairing that eight years has made genuinely sublime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGarrison Brothers Distillery was founded in 2006 by Dan Garrison in Hye, Texas — a Hill Country community approximately 50 miles west of Austin — becoming the first legal bourbon distillery in Texas history. The distillery operates with a specific and uncompromising commitment to Texas ingredients: food grade #1 white corn sourced from South Texas farms, Texas-grown wheat, and water from the Hill Country aquifer. Master Distiller Donnis Todd oversees production with the same founding philosophy: no shortcuts, no sourced whiskey, everything made on site under the relentless Texas sun and through the equally relentless Texas cold of Hill Country winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe PX Sherry Cask Finished expression is part of the Ranch Reserve Series — the tier of Garrison Brothers releases that explore secondary maturation in wine and spirit casks beyond the standard American oak program. Production begins with the distillery's standard sweet mash bourbon: the corn-forward, full-bodied base spirit that has won Garrison Brothers its reputation as the most distinctive and the most specifically Texas-expressive bourbon distillery in the state. After four years in new, toasted and charred white American oak barrels — during which Texas summers and winters cycle the spirit through the wood at an accelerated rate compared to Kentucky's more temperate climate — select barrels are transferred to Pedro Ximénez sherry casks sourced from Spain's Jerez region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePedro Ximénez, known as PX, is produced from grapes that are dried in the sun until they begin to raisin — concentrating their natural sugar, acidity, and flavor into an extraordinarily sweet, dark, fig-and-raisin-saturated wine. The casks that previously held this wine carry all of that concentrated sweetness and dark fruit character into their wood, and four additional years in these casks allows the Garrison Brothers bourbon to absorb that character thoroughly and integrate it fully. Total maturation: eight years across two dramatically different cask types.

PX brings richness and depth to the whiskey, drawing out notes of raisins, figs, and toffee while still letting the bourbon speak in its own Texas voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep, dark mahogany — the four years in PX sherry casks producing a color of extraordinary richness for an American bourbon. Rich aromas of chocolate and toffee open first, the PX's concentrated sweetness arriving immediately and generously. Caramel follows, then raisins and figs — the most specifically and the most unmistakably PX-sherry-derived aromatics, the sun-dried Jerez grape's most concentrated fruit character translated directly into the whisky. Candied fruit and deep sherry sweetness layer throughout. Beneath the PX richness, the Garrison Brothers Texas bourbon character remains present and specifically audible — the corn sweetness and the toasted American oak's vanilla foundation providing the structural grounding that keeps this recognizably Texan despite eight years of Spanish sherry influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDark berry jam opens with vivid, concentrated intensity. Baked apple follows with warm, slightly cooked fruit sweetness. Warm cinnamon and oak spice build through the mid-palate alongside vanilla — the American oak's primary flavors reappearing after the sherry's dark fruit dominance of the nose. Rich oak spice adds the Texas-heat-accelerated wood character that distinguishes Garrison Brothers from Kentucky bourbon of comparable age. The palate speaks in \"its own Texas voice,\" exactly as the distillery promises — both the Garrison Brothers foundation and the PX sherry's dark richness fully present and genuinely integrated rather than one simply overwriting the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong and warm — molasses carrying the darkest sweetness of the PX through the close alongside dried fruit and a long, warm spice.

Aperol, the mass-market orange aperitivo from Padua, now dominates the Spritz category globally. But Venetians — the people who actually invented the drink, in the city where it was born, on the canals where the Austro-Hungarian soldiers once watered down their wine in the 19th century — many of them will tell you that a proper Spritz is made with Select. Not Aperol. Select.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMario and Vittorio Pilla created Select in 1920 in Venice's Castello district, naming it as simply and as directly as confidence allows. The recipe is built on 30 botanicals, with two specifically and publicly identified: juniper berries, chosen for their balsamic and floral characteristics, which undergo a special maceration and distillation process in a traditional copper pot still that gives Select its distinctive fresh, resinous, almost gin-like structure; and rhubarb root, individually processed to provide the intensely bitter notes that balance the whole. The rest of the 30 botanicals — vanilla, cardamom, ginger root, lavender, cinnamon, and others that remain a guarded secret — add the spice, warmth, and floral complexity that make Select more interesting in a glass than a straightforward bitter profile alone could achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWine and Whiskey Globe called it \"more to be savored than Campari — an elegant balance between bitter and sweet, tipping in favor of the latter. Balsamic and floral juniper berry balances vibrant, juicy orange, rich herbs, and spices ripe with grassy notes and nutmeg.\" Difford's Guide: \"brilliantly balanced — rooty, red fruit, strawberry and raspberry flavors along with orange citrus and sweet lavender-like soapiness. Fruitier than Campari with a softer finish.\" The Liquor Barn confirmed 91 points across four critic reviews. And in 2023, production returned physically to Venice with the opening of Ca' Select — the distillery's homecoming to the city where the Pilla brothers first created this genuinely original and genuinely Venetian bitter. When Venetians want a Spritz, many of them still reach for Select. That fact alone tells you everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn 1919, brothers Mario and Vittorio Pilla moved from Bologna to Venice's Castello district — a neighborhood of working boatyards, gondola workshops, and local bacari (wine bars) at the eastern edge of the city — and founded Fratelli Pilla \u0026amp; C., a liquor production company specifically conceived to contribute to the economic and social revitalization of post-World War I Venice. Their first spirit, Aperitivo Select, debuted in 1920 and quickly became a fixture of Venetian aperitivo life, its signature bright red color appearing across the city's canal-side bars, its presence in the evolving Venetian Spritz solidifying what would become the defining aperitivo ritual of the Veneto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe production process is a genuine combination of techniques rarely found in a single Italian bitter: complex maceration of botanicals in spirit, boiling, and crucially, copper pot still distillation specifically applied to the juniper berries — a production step that gives Select the fresh, resinous, gin-adjacent structure that most distinguishes it from the category's simpler expressions. The 30 botanicals in the recipe are blended after their individual preparations, filtered, and then matured before bottling, a process that has remained unchanged since 1920. In 1954, Select was acquired by Distilleria Jean Buton and eventually absorbed by Gruppo Montenegro — the Bologna-based producer whose portfolio includes Amaro Montenegro — which continues production to the original recipe. In 2023, Gruppo Montenegro opened Ca' Select in Venice, returning production physically to the city of the liqueur's birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine and Whiskey Globe:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I believe there is more to be savored in Select's botanical bounty than its more famous counterpart, Campari.

Bitter orange and citrus oil follow alongside the floral qualities of the lavender. Red fruit — strawberry and raspberry — add a specifically vivid and the most memorably surprising secondary fruit brightness.

The juniper's balsamic and resinous character carries through as the most structural and the most gin-like mid-palate quality. Strawberry and raspberry add vivid red fruit richness. Vanilla adds subtle sweetness and warmth.

Maryland once held a third of the country's rye whiskey supply in 1939, before the state's entire distillery infrastructure was converted to ethanol production for the Second World War effort and never fully recovered. Kevin Plank — the founder of Under Armour, who established Sagamore Spirit in 2013 on a five-acre waterfront plot on Baltimore's peninsula — has been working to reverse that decline ever since, reviving the old Maryland rye tradition with a sourcing-to-distilling evolution that now produces 100% Maryland-made grain-to-glass whiskey from non-GMO grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSo when Sagamore Spirit released a bourbon — with minimal fanfare, as a limited Reserve Series expression — it was genuinely surprising. Not because they couldn't make one, but because bourbon had never been their stated ambition. The High Rye Bourbon is the distillery's first ever, and it comes with an immediate and specifically Sagamore character baked into the mashbill: 25% rye, a proportion that puts this firmly in the high-rye bourbon category and that carries the Maryland rye house's most characteristic and most specifically recognizable spice and herbal character directly into a bourbon framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBreaking Bourbon called it \"well-rounded and full of flavor\" for a 6-year-old, noting that opening with heavy brown sugar notes, dryer notes of cinnamon stick, charred oak, and yellow cake help balance out the sweetness — syrup and brown sugar boost the sweetness in the palate, while black peppercorn and rye spice remind you of the quarter rye grain found in the bourbon's mashbill — ending on classic dry notes along with a dash of vanilla, the bourbon never comes across as too dry, instead providing a nice balance to the finish. Drinkhacker's Drew Beard found top notes of candy apple and freshly grated nutmeg that give way to a piquant midpalate of fresh oak, lemon zest, and freshly grated cinnamon stick — the sharpness and heft of the alcohol pushed just to the limit before dialing back on the finish, eroding in a warming wave of black pepper, marmalade on rye toast, and cinnamon sugar. His conclusion: \"Sagamore has clearly figured out how to build an impressive and versatile rye whiskey, and if this inaugural effort is any indication, they have done the same with bourbon.

The company's founding mission was explicit: to revive the lost tradition of Maryland rye whiskey, a style that had its roots in colonial America and that, before World War II, represented a full third of the American rye whiskey supply. The distillery opened physically in Baltimore in 2017 and has progressively shifted from sourced-and-blended whiskey to fully Maryland-distilled, grain-to-glass production, working with local farmers to grow and harvest grain — including 100% non-GMO corn from Sagamore Farm, the historic 250-acre horse farm located 22 miles outside of Baltimore, owned by Plank. In September 2023, Illva Saronno Holding S.p.A. — the Italian company known for Disaronno — purchased a majority stake in Sagamore Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe High Rye Bourbon represents the first bourbon whiskey in Sagamore Spirit's history — released as a limited expression under the Reserve Series line, available initially at the distillery and select Baltimore-area retailers. The mashbill is 60% corn, 25% rye, and 15% malted rye — a high-rye bourbon composition that deliberately bridges the distillery's Kentucky bourbon heritage nod and its Maryland rye tradition. Aged six years and bottled at cask strength — nearly 60% ABV — the bourbon is proofed with the same Sagamore Farm limestone spring water used across every expression in the Sagamore Spirit range.

The course they played gave them the space to think freely — away from desks and deadlines, moving at the unhurried pace of a round, letting ideas develop like a long walk with good company. They named the brand after Paladini's newborn daughter Penelope, and their founding ambition was direct: to create a spirit that embodied the daily joy of celebrating life's pleasures, big and small. That round of golf, and the conversation it enabled, built one of the fastest-growing premium American whiskey brands in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eArchitects of Golf is the brand's most personally referential release — a three-bottle limited-edition collection that honors the game where Penelope began, the specific course that gave two friends the space and the pace to plan something genuinely ambitious. Each of the three expressions — named Hole 1, Hole 2, and Hole 3 — is the same six-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon at 94 proof, distilled from the same four-grain mashbill, aged at Ross \u0026amp; Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. What changes across the three is the American oak stave finishing — each subsequent expression receives more intensive stave treatment, at greater intensity and over a longer period, building the oak influence progressively from the gentle introduction of Hole 1 to the bold, concentrated conclusion of Hole 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\"Golf and bourbon are similar in that they both bring people together,\" Michael Paladini said at the launch. \"The introduction of American Oak Staves into our blends reflects how small adjustments can have a big impact on the overall product.\" Danny Polise, Penelope's founder and master blender, was equally direct: \"Each hole represents a distinct batch, designed to explore the nuances of different stave profiles and how they evolve the whiskey. It made developing the collection as fun as playing the game.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe course metaphor holds across the drinking experience. Hole 1 is the approachable opening — par 4, 418 yards, caramel, butterscotch, and baking spices. Hole 2 builds the stakes — par 4, 372 yards, richer and more structured with French toast, dark chocolate, and layered vanilla. Hole 3 is the finishing hole — par 5, 528 yards, the most robust expression of the trio, chocolate mousse, dried red fruit, and concentrated toasted oak.
