Saturday Tour

By Elizabeth T |

Excellent tour, Christine was a fantastic guide, her enthusiasm for her job made the tour enjoyable!

Excellent experience!

By Pamela S |

A great tour with very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about Baltimore Rye and our friend (who loves Rye) said he was so happy to learn so much and now loves rye even more.

Great tasting!

By Rosie G |

This tasting was a great value at only 10$! The distillery is a beautiful spot, that makes you feel like you're getting out of the city, and the guides are exceptionally knowledgeable, and the whiskey is delicious :)

Awesome...Two thumbs up đŸ‘đŸŸđŸ‘đŸŸ

By D.S. |

Nicole was very pleasant and knowledgeable in describing the aging & history of the whiskeys to our group. It was a very safe, fun & relaxed experience especially during these difficult times of adjusting to life during Covid-19.

Worth your time and money.

By bkelmartin |

Have been to the tasting room many times. Took the distillery tour and was not disappointed. Very entertaining and engaging tour guide.

Very Fun Birthday Experience

By Kristi S |

We surprised my husband for his birthday with the classics cocktail making class. We had a group of 12 of us and it was a blast! It was fun to learn a few tips on how to make your cocktails at home plus the history of the iconic cocktails. We would highly recommend this experience for a date night or fun activity with family and friends!

Sagamore Spirits Rye Tour and Tasting

By Gina K |

This was spur of the moment idea for my husband's birthday. We'd been wanting to visit and the timing was great. We did the Tour and Tasting. The facility is still quite new and beautifully detailed.
Our tour guide, Leah was very knowledgeable-she has been there since the beginning of the distillery. She also brought humor to the tour which make it more fun.

The tour was very good, with fun, interesting and historical facts about Rye, the industry in Maryland, all about the entire process from grain to bottling.
The private tasting (with our tour group of maybe 20 people) was nice-introduced properly to each of the tastings, water provided to clean the palette in between.

Definitely worth a trip here. We went in February but we can't wait to go when it's warm out to sit by the water in the Adirondack chairs by the outside bar.

Whiskey Tasting

By Julia C |

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun! You get to see the equipment used to perform the step-by-step process of making whiskey, and taste four delicious whiskeys at the end. Quick (~1 hr) and fun!

Cocktail Class is Great

By Jim Linn |

I’ve been to two different cocktail classes at Sagamore Spirit Distillery and both were great. Fun. Informative. Tasty.

Worth a visit

By Maria P |

Went for the 8 year anniversary. Had a great experience. Tasted some of the new flavors, and was able to try the new Jasper Mead in an old fashioned. It was great. The event has music and some food as well and even someone to engrave the bottle I bought to take home. Nice outdoor space and an indoor bar with a shop. Plenty of great gifts and everyone was very helpful.

Loved It

By dajah o |

I attended the “ make your own cocktail” class &absolutely loved loved loved my experience .
everyone was super friendly , our instructor was knowledgeable and you can tell she knew her *ishhh . my drink turned great, like a real bartender made it lol
anyway , i will be back . also the ambiance is incredible .

Distillery fun!

By Julie D |

The distillery tour was very informative. The shop, tavern, and distillery itself were so clean and modern that I felt like I was at a lodge. Getting to see the distillery process first hand was really cool and the taste testing at the end was so fun!

Whiskey Ruined by Bad Employees

By Charlie |

I went for the Whiskey Thieves Legacy Bottle event. I showed up early and wanted to buy a few bottles and leave because my fiancée wound up having to watch her year old nephew last minute and needed help. I told the employees that I just wanted to grab a few bottles and head out.

I was told I had to wait a bit before purchasing anything. I figured the bottles were just boxed up and not out yet to go grab them. I waited for 15 minutes just to find out there was no reason to wait, they just set the bottles up and made them look pretty on a table.

This was annoying, but the real reason that the experience was terrible was that despite the fact that I was getting 3 bottles, I was pressured five times to purchase MORE, despite EACH time saying no thanks, I only want these 3 bottles. I even called them out and said they were being pushy. The bar tender even pressured me to buy a cocktail multiple times in spite of me saying I had to leave and DRIVE.

Then, even though I bought 3 bottles, the cashier did not inform me that this qualified me for $40 of free non-whiskey merchandise. So, I basically lost $40 for that.

I love Sagamore whiskey. The employees need to learn how to do their jobs though, and more importantly, how to LISTEN to people and treat them with respect. I expect to get pressure like that when going to a timeshare seminar, not a distillery.

Echoing all the other great reviews

By BobMyr |

I'm echoing all of the other great reviews. Fine tour, great whiskies, clean and upbeat location. Nice way to spend a few hours

Awesome!

By David D |

The tour was great, tasting was even better. Excellent gift shop, friendly staff, I highly recommend.

Worth your time

By BHar4555 |

Great facility, knowledgeable staff and delicious whiskey is a great combination. We enjoyed the tour, it was informative but not overly long, the distillery is beautiful to look at, easy on the eyes

Great distillery tour!

By PetertheTeslaFanMan |

We took a distillery tour on 10/22 at 17:00 and the woman who lead the tour (I did not catch her name) did a great job! It was fun, informative, and we had a wonderful time! It was interesting to see the equipment and learn about the process of making the rye whiskey. I have a new appreciation for the alcohol now! The whiskey itself is strong but full of flavor. I definitely recommend experiencing this place if you’re visiting or living in Baltimore (you don’t have to like whiskey to enjoy the tour)!

Nice Outing on a beautiful day

By MTW |

Beautiful Day, Beautiful Distillery and most of all a great tour. My group of families and friends enjoyed a short trip to the Distillery. Very clean and Covid Safe! While waiting for the tour to start, i got to enjoy sitting in the sun and staring into the water. so relaxing! If you have time (1-2 hours) it's a short drive from Inner Harbor. Also educating, I learn a little about the history of Rye Whiskey and how it is made.

Great Tour!

By Colin C |

Informative tour leader, great pace, learned a lot and was able to ask questions. Passionate people. Great whiskey.

Great time

By Michael B |

Sagamore Distillery visit January 2025

By Jeffrey Z |

firs t time at Sagamore distillery, really nice time while there. Did the tour, Jake was a wealth of information on the process of Spirit making. Had a drink in the bar afterwards, friendly and knowledgeable staff took care of us. Will go back during the warm months to try the outside areas..

A must-do in Baltimore!

By Mara Grace |

We had a lovely time on our tour! Our tour guide was funny and engaging, and we loved learning about the distilling process. The location is gorgeous, as well. The tour finished with a whiskey tasting while we looked out over water. We especially enjoyed the double oak whiskey.

The Sagamore Spirit Experience

By Gerald M |

The tour was very educational. It was great time hearing about Maryland's Rye Whiskey history. The tasting sealed the deal and made it a wonderful experience overall.

Deliciously educational

By Kevin M |

This was a virtual cocktail experience which enabled our staff to socialize remotely and at the same time learn how to make two amazing Sagamore Rye cocktails! The kits were delivered to us ahead of time; the session was easy to access, and the Sagamore staff was well informed, attentive and entertaining! The price was very affordable.
I highly recommend any of Sagamore's virtual experiences for family, friends and co-workers!

Perfect Date at a Baltimore Gem

By Amond U |

My wife and I went to Sagamore Spirit Distillery for a date and did the tour with the chocolate pairing and we absolutely loved it! It was amazing to see how their excellent Maryland Rye Whiskey is made, and the facility is gorgeous, right along the waterfront. The whole experience felt special and unique, making it a perfect date spot. Sagamore Spirit is truly a Baltimore gem and we highly recommend it!

So many events, so much fun

By D’Andre |

I’ve been here a many of times whether it be their Summer Booze Cruise, their Cocktail Making classes, the tour and tasting, or the Cane Collective mixers class. It’s just always a good time! Definitely stop by and support them, you won’t regret it!! I’m a super fan at this point!

Important note: The whiskey is amazing!!!

Good little day trip!

By Jessica L |

Our tour guide Kayla was amazing and even though it was rainy and gloomy outside our tour was super interesting and a great way to spend our time!

Great whiskey tasting, food truck, and music

By ML Rogers |

We were only able to participate in the tasting because the tour schedule was full. It was an excellent program. After the tasting, we were able to experience a live band and get lunch from a food truck. The onsite restaurant is not yet open. Everything was fantastic. The tasting was great with you being able to try all their blends. The guide was able to give us history of the distillery and its blends. Lots of outside picnic tables and chairs set up in groups so you can sit with those who you came with. Very safe for these uncertain times :-)

By carla r |

This was a birthday gift and my first distillery tour. Best experience ever! Totally would do this again. Thanks Sagamore! Great whiskey also.

Amazing learning

By Heidi T |

Dierdra was funny and amazing as a tour guide. I learned so much and will be a regular visitor. Sunday brunch class is my next want to do.

Definitely worth it.

By Tom S |

Nicole was our guide for the tasting, and she did a great job. She was more knowledgeable about whiskey than anyone I've ever met :-) We loved the experience, the property, and the whiskey! We walked out of there with three bottles. Looking forward to our next visit already. HIGHLY recommended!

Baltimore craft and area coming back to life

By rosemary m |

Fun and educational way to spend part of an afternoon..
Great to see the development in that part of the city.
Our guide, Leah, was Very knowledgeable.

Amore for Sagamore

By Rajeev N |

A wonderful experience overall. The ambiance, the staff and most importantly, the products were top notch! Will continue to be a big fan of Sagamore Distillery

Enjoyable

By Kindra S |

We Really enjoy the staff and the tour guide. The tasting was enjoyable, we brought some Rye !!! Everyone should go!

By Bernard P |

Definitely worth the trip, just be mindful of the construction in the area as it can be tricky to enter. If you happen to get Keyah as you’re tour guide, you’re in good hands as she is very knowledgeable, funny and personable.

Barrel wreath making

By Teresa E |

We made a Christmas barrel wreath. Everyone was very helpful and we had a fun time. Will be watching for more events.

Great experience

By Sami Jo K |

Very knowledgeable about the history incorporated into the rye whiskey. And gave great notes to the flavoring and process that went into each styling of whiskey presented.

Great experience definitely must check out!

By Troy M |

Great experience, super friendly service. Our tour guide for the event Jake was outstanding definitely I must experience!

Highlight of visit to Baltimore

By senorak |

First time visitors to the Sagamore Spirit Distillery. The tasting & tour was a highlight of our Baltimore getaway. We were the only people on the tour, (Thursday, early afternoon), and our guide Maya was so friendly & knowledgeable. Enjoyed all aspects---hearing the history of Sagamore Distillery, seeing the machinery & brewing/distilling process "in action".....and of course, the "tasting" of 5 different rye whiskeys. We purchased 2 bottles, and have been telling family/friends of this wonderful tour of Sagamore Spirits. Will definitely return next visit to Baltimore.

Maryland Whiskey Showcase (without the crab spice!)

By MD-LAX D |

Who knew that these people have their act together so well when it comes to whiskey, in general, ... but, especially Maryland-style rye whiskey! No, their libations do not blend in crab spices (that I know of), ... but they do use top notch ingredients, some of which are proprietary and locally sourced in rural Maryland (e.g., the limestone filtered water and rye, ...). Not one, not two, not three, not even just four types of whiskey, ... these ambitious practitioners currently make a core group of three whiskies (different proofs, different blends, different ages) and on top of that, they rotate various whiskey experiences on a vintage or calendar schedule (e.g., port barrel aged, cinnamon-apple, etc.). All are for sale on sight or in liquor stores. The tour (I've done in the past, not able to now (COVID)) is very informative, relaxed, and fun. The tasting room is comfortable and once again hosted by very congenial, knowledgeable folks. Other offerings on sight (restaurant, bar, etc.) are top-notch, ... be sure to check the website for schedules (especially during COVID). Have fun!

Great for group tours!

By John S |

Incredible tour & tasting! Kia was very informative and her stories may have been the best part of the trip, our whole group had a blast!

Sagamore Distillery Tour, don’t miss it!

By roberteS5291PH |

Beautiful distillery & reception/gift shop area. Jake gave an interesting and educational presentation. He was informed, enthusiastic & made it a fun experience. The samples at the end were extremely tasty. It’s a fun way to find out about one of the nation’s best rye whiskey makers.

Wine down with Whiskeu

By Latany Carter |

The Mom's Night Out Create Your Own Cocktail experience was awesome. I had a blast. The hostess, Keyohn, please forgive me if I spelled your name incorrect, was absolutley fabulous. She made our night fun and enjoyable. The cocktails were the best. I most definitely recommend this experience to everyone.

Great location, excellent whiskey

By Philip M |

The distillery is a little hard to get to but well worth the effort. Great location on the water and a nice building. The tour was excellent (thanks, Jake!) and the tasting room and bar were really well designed. The whiskey is excellent. Just need to add some food.

nothings2hard

By Bernice D |

My husband and I had a nice time at Sagamore Spirit Distillery the tour guide was funny , attentive and well knowledge about the machinery and brewing of the various whiskies. My husbands favorite was the double oak whiskey which he also purchased.
We would definitely visit again.

Perfect father's day gift

By Guide39612942746 |

I took my husband here as a Father's day gift. The tour was amazing it was well organized and the information we learned about The Distillery was great! Our tour guide Paige did an amazing job! She was well versed in The Distillery, the process as well as the history of Sagamore. The Distillery itself was clean and bright and the scenery surrounding it was just beautiful! We got to sample 4 of their whiskeys at the end of the tour. We are Baltimore natives and it was really good to see something like this right in our own backyard. I would definitely recommend this tour you will not be disappointed!

Up close and personal with some great whiskey.

By Adam W |

The tour guide, Christie, was very friendly and knowledgeable and while she kept things moving, she answered all the questions posed and made it very interesting. As to getting close to the instruments to see how it works, we were actually up against the actual tanks and seeing the mash hill as it was fermenting. Pretty cool.

The area itself is also just beautiful.

By Dave S |

Fantastic experience! Kiah (spelling?) was so knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with our slow-moving group! We learned a great deal on the history of rye whiskey in Maryland, the distilling process, and we even got to meet Kevin Plank. The tasting was very fun, and we received great tips on recipes using the rye.
I recommend this tour to anyone, even if you’re not a whiskey drinker!

Excellent experience

By Darryl S |

Nice location and very tasty Rye selection. Loved the view and the outside seating area. Nice walkway along the shoreline,good place to relax.

Bear Black Friday ever

By Linda J |

The tour was short and great. Christine should be on Broadway! Loved the tasting and the Black Friday deal was worth the trip . Christmas shopping almost done!

Great Experience for novice and expert of Rye Whiskeys.

By Robert M |

We loved learning about how the whiskey is distilled and the different varieties.
The tastings were great. With an explanation of what we should be looking for in the taste of each type.

You will love it!

By Irina Sh |

One of the best places in Baltimore to go with friends or loved ones. Our guide was Deidre and we really liked the tour! My recommendation would be to book a tour at 5 or 6 pm and try their canned cocktails afterwards. They have a wonderful waterfront area with wooden chairs and tables outside.

Sagamore Tasting Tour

By Nick M |

We had a fantastic time. There's an interesting gift shop (which includes their whiskies), small bar, and we were actually there at their on the water event (food trucks, live music, etc.). The staff and patrons were all very friendly. Initially we were surprised to see how many people had brought small kids, but no one was disorderly and everyone was having a great time. The tour is informative and our tour guide Deirdre was HILARIOUS. Thoroughly enjoyed the tasting session as well.

Now Appreciate Whiskey

By Little_Feather3020 |

Admit I knew little about whiskey when I first came here. The hour-long tour walked my family through the process of whiskey making with an added bit of Maryland history, and the tastings helped me learn the nuances of each casks strength. Simone was a lovely and gracious tour guide, and the waterfront location is perfect. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience and was very well-done.

By Sue Belnick |

Did the tasting and tour as part of a birthday celebration. This exceeded our expectations! The tour was very informative and we sampled 6 different whiskeys as part of the tasting. Even came home with a couple bottles afterwards. Will definitely return!

Fun Tour at Sagamore Distillery

By mbologna |

Terrific small distillery tour. My guide, Keyah, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The distiller is relatively small and is about 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore but worth the visit. The experience included 5 tastings of different Sagamore products, including two of their reserve blends and the fabulous double oak. If you enjoy whiskey, this is a fun thing to do.

CHEERS TO A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

By Colleen T |

I can't say one part of the tour was the best because it was ALL so good! The tour was informative, building was beautiful, our guide Lydia was great, whiskey was stellar and the outside lounge area was awesome...loved the live music! It was my daughter's 21st birthday...she loved it!

Love sagamore tours!

By Mo |

Tour was really interactive and fun! Really enjoyed the tasting at the end and the energy of our tour guide.

Fun Whiskey Tour

By Trinity G |

Tour was very educational and entertaining. Loved that we got to see the whiskey making process and bottling in action. Tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable!

Great Tour!

By Kathy W |

The tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable. The samples of the different whiskeys were great!

Great tour

By Parmagal |

Very informative! We had an excellent guide who explained everything well. We enjoyed the tasting after the tour and compared 5 different types they distilled. It made for a most enjoyable afternoon.

By MrsPsPicks |

The tour guide made this an excellent afternoon. From the welcome to the end, she was engaged and seemed genuinely to care about teaching us about the process. We didn’t feel rushed, and left happy!

Brunch Cocktails for the Birthday win!

By Curiosity11968068556 |

For her birthday, my wife and I took the "Craft Your Own Brunch Cocktail" class. What an awesome time! We went Sunday morning at 10:30am. The class was fun, the energy in the room was great, and I really enjoyed chatting with the people sitting next to us. Larse, the instructor, was fun and engaging and his two assistants (Mike and Lauren) were fun, too. The place was easy to find, plenty of parking, very clean and nice setting. I will definitely go back again some time.

Best Whiskey Tour outside of Louisville, Hands Down!

By James L |

Full of character (Thanks Leah!), visually rewarding thoughtful design and great tasking whiskey. A++ all the way around.

And if you’re into history, the story behind what you’re drinking will make the experience that much more rewarding!

Great tour and bar

By Kerstin B |

The tour was engaging and our tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable. The time flew by! The tasting after was the cherry on top. We sat at the bar after the tour and the bar tenders were super accommodating and friendly. Great time for whiskey lovers and non-whiskey lovers like myself. Will be back

Sagamore is my new favorite Rye Whiskey!

By Sonny B |

They do a very interesting little tour, especially the tasting at the end. Gave me a whole new appreciation for Rye Whiskey! Nice Tavern next door for lunch or dinner after.

Event at Sagamore Distillery

By Paula F |

I attended a very nice event. Beautiful evening on the waterfront with live music, tastings, hors d’oerves, oysters. The drinks are excellent. The service is great. There was an artist on site to etch bottles. The events here are very popular and there are monthly public events, weather permitting in addition to cocktail classes, and harbor cruises.

Great tour, I would recommend it to everyone.

By Stacy L |

The tour was great and the tour guide was very knowledgeable & informative. Great Whiskies and informative tasting at the end.

Learned a few cocktail recipes and had big fun!

By Michelle H |

The Cocktail Making class that we attended was so much fun! Socially-distant 'bar stations' for each group, all tools of the trade and cocktail ingredients supplied for guests. Fun for solo or group activity. Did I mention the "welcome cocktail" at check-in, mini-desserts and samples? Justin was a great, patient, fun instructor! We will be back for another class soon.

What a wonderful time!

By Lauren Lydia |

What a wonderful experience! My parents and I had such a fun time. Our tour guide Marley was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I will definitely be booking another tour for myself and my work crew for the fall!

Great tasting

By Emily J |

The tour guide was knowledgeable answered all of our questions and was funny. The tour was interesting to hear the history and the process of how they make there products.

Great tour and great whiskey

By gbjhawks |

Came into town to visit my son and we decided to visit Sagamore to check out the whiskey. Decided to do the tour at the last second and that was a great decision. Our tour leader was not only knowledgable, but made the tour extremely enjoyable with little tidbits of history about Sagamore and a great sense of humor. I've been on several distillery tours and this is on the top of my list. Now for the best part. The rye whiskeys that we sampled at the end of the tour were exceptional. Without hesitation I bought a bottle of the Double Oak to enjoy during my visit to Baltimore. Will recommend to anyone to take a visit and tour.

Outdoor yoga

By Alex R |

At outdoor yoga class the instructor was great. There was an issue with the speaker provided to her.

Big thank you to Jake - great tour and tasting

By LonnaLinda |

Family visit with 5 adults. We have visited many distilleries in our travels, but Jake and his knowledge and great personality made our visit incredible! After our tour and tasting, Jake suggested we try the Sagamore bar for some specialty cocktails.
Drinks in the bar were delicious (the outside view is delightful) and I appreciate the bartenders letting us have a small taste of several of your rye whiskey. OMG the Reserve Series 9 year old rye was heaven in a glass. We were delighted to be able to buy 2 bottles in the store.

The best had to be our conversation with Jake after our visit to the bar and just chatting about favorite whiskies.

Highly recommend the Sagamore tour and tasting. And if you would like a bite to eat, go next door to the Rye Street Tavern. Delicious food, fantastic view and interior bar - all around great service.

Discover rye whiskey throughout this unique tour and tasting experience!

By Thomas M |

Our tour guide, Jake, was passionate about whiskey and the Sagamore process. He encouraged questions, and we had many, and he answered all knowledgeably. Several in our party had traveled the bourbon trail in Kentucky and Jake was able to discuss the differences and distinctions between Sagamore and the many other distillers. Most in our party are Maryland locals and we learned much about the local Baltimore history as it relates agriculture, distilling and the economy. The bartenders crafted specialty cocktails made with ingredients that are all made on site. All staff were pleasant and attentive. Several in our party purchased engraved bottles as special gifts for family and friends. Truly a unique tour and tasting experience!

Great Cocktail Class

By Ashley S |

We took a cocktail making class with Simone and Leah they were very informative and lots of fun! We will definitely be coming back!

The Best Distillery Experience Ever

By Marc-Anthony Murray |

If you're gonna visit this place, then a tour is the only way to truly appreciate all of the intricacies, history, and painstaking processes involved in crafting this amazing rye.

We spent Labor Day weekend at the Sagamore Pendry celebrating my fiancee's birthday, and part of our stay included a tour of Sagamore Spirit (which I wasn't even aware of until doing research on the naming and history behind the Pendry). From the time we got there, I was in awe at the size of the place, and the various buildings that house all of the machinery and raw materials were spotless. Definitely the cleanest distillery I've ever seen. The tastings were also excellently done, with great descriptions and enough pour to give the palate a chance to appreciate each one.

Oh, and our tour guide: Keyah definitely needs a raise. She made the entire experience SO much fun, and knows this place backwards and forwards. Such a great sense of humor and candor, which was refreshing; it really brought people out of their shells on the tour, which I've noticed in the past may people don't do. I'll definitely be calling ahead for the next tour to ensure that she will be giving it.

I ended up buying three bottles of the small-batch/distillery exclusive ryes - that is how good they are. Highly recommend this place, and Keyah's tour. You won't be disappointed in the slightest.

By Tfox41 |

The tour was fun and interesting and the waterfront location made the experience that much better. Our guide Deidre was fantastic and shared fun Baltimore facts which kept it enjoyable. I would highly recommend for friends and family visiting and it looks to have great event rental space. We will definitely be back for the warmer weather waterfront events there!

Nice Experience

By Tessera S |

The tour of the actual distillery and bottling space was informative and entertaining. It ended perfectly with an educational tasting of different blends of Sagamore whiskey. I had my young grandson with me and they made me feel comfortable having him with us and even made sure he had water during the tasting.

Great time

By Judith M |

Our tour guide was fantastic! VERY good!! I have been tree times before. Sorry the restaurant wasn't open but the bar was great.

First Class experience....

By GoPlaces58679661970 |

First class experience from welcoming cocktail to after tour tasting..Can't wait until their restaurant opens later this summer..
We will be going back again for sure....
And , terrific Rye's...

A fun way to learn and taste something new in Baltimore

By KNP330 |

Everything was well done. The location is attractive, with an interesting and different view of the waterfront. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable for both the distillery process and the tasting. The tasting had generous size samples and a good bit of information to guide the comparisons. We were there from 3-4 pm, then headed to a nearby casual waterfront restaurant (Nick's) for a very enjoyable afternoon Baltimore experience.

Entertaining repeat visit

By Cynthia S |

Always a good time, browsing the gift shop, tasting and sharing with friends, Maryland's distillery history and of course, excellent rye!

By Kelly K |

Christine was a fun and phenomenal guide through the distillery. Who knew that the water was trucked from the spring? I loved the tasting session and did buy my favorite whiskey. You have to decide which one is your favorite.

Whiskey date

By Jill H |

My husband and I went for an afternoon date! The tour was informative and interactive. The whiskey was delicious and our tour guide Marley was wonderful. We highly recommend going if you get the chance.

Excellent brunch drink class

By TaraW75 |

We had such a great time. The distillery is very nice and laid out well. We attended the brunch drink mixing class. It was a small class and we got to mix two drinks. I would recommend this class to anyone. I am not a huge whiskey drinker. i know i shouldn’t mention that but my husband is and i enjoyed myself as much as he did. It was well worth the small fee and Diedra the host was awesome!

A must see for the rye enthusiast!

By Mobile45393876591 |

If you are going to be in the Baltimore area and you like rye, you must schedule a tour of the distillery. The guide, Kayla, was very knowledgeable and you got to see first hand their process. At the end of the tour, you get tasting samples, which are great!!

An Enjoyable Experience - Highly Recommended

By Sheldon B |

This was my second time visiting the distillery for the tour, this time taking my wife and a couple of friends. Mike was an excellent guide and the tour and tastings were fun and educational. I have visited many distilleries and the Sagamore tour ranks among the very best! The spirits are quite good which is a plus!

Great experience

By meisha c |

The tour guide Christina was amazing and her energy was perfect. After the tour there is an outdoor bar and seating outside on the water.

Business meeting

By James Blond |

Business meeting in this fantastic distillery. Business room is a modern structure together with all comforts. The factory tour will leave you astonished and very well impressed.

Fun and very educational

By Mary C |

Our tour leader was enthusiastic and also extremely knowledgeable, able to answer each and every question. I loved learning about the history of whiskey in Baltimore. Unfortunately we attended the tour on a holiday so the normally active distillery was not operating. I recommend checking that out before you go if that is important to you. Oh, and the Rye tasting was amazing. Very educational and fun.

Getting into the holiday spirit - creatively

By M. Russell |

My sisters and I took the wreath making class - decorating barrel hoops. We had a blast and now have unique custom decorations for our houses. the staff was super helpful

A Hidden Gem

By candycaneprincess92 |

I was completely in awe with this place, even before I stepped inside. Can you say “WOW”!!! When walking up to the distillery your met with a beautiful gravel path along with a seaside view. I felt as if I was in a crossover between the oz and the little mermaid such a beautiful nostalgic feeling. Then when you walk inside you’re greeted by friendly staff and a warm yet inviting ambience. I don’t want to completely spoil you from having an experience of your very own but this 30 minute tour was Amazing, informative, and fun. This was literally my first whiskey tasting but it won’t be my last!! My mom and I had such a wonderful time there.

A wonderful experience

By Allison |

Our tour guides, Kia and Simone, were awesome! They were super informative and really fun. They made the experience that much better. I definitely recommend whether you live in the area or you’re visiting that you definitely stop by!

Awesome tour

By Jenny M |

Kristine was an amazing tour guide! Funny and informative it was a great experience for us and our friends visiting from California.

Amazing experience and great whiskey

By DD R |

Amazing virtual experience! The host was so knowledgeable. This is a great date night idea!! We loved it!

Amazing!

By Abigail O |

We did a private brunch cocktail class and it was AMAZING. Everyone loved the experience and Keyah and Leah were fantastic. The set-up was adorable and the drinks were delicious. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back for another event. Highly recommend!

Whisked Away!

By Tia G |

I surprised my husband with an afternoon tour and tasting for our anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Leah was great, she greeted us pleasantly when we arrived and also immediately wished us Happy Anniversary during her welcome. Her personality was bubbly and I enjoyed the humor she added into giving us the rich history of Sagamore. Touring the facility was nice, all of the employees seemed happy and friendly. We enjoyed shopping all goodies in the shop. We personally loved the outdoor entertainment area that faces the water. The tasting was portioned well although I wish we had glasses and not plastic cups (Covid era, sigh) and we were given so many details about whiskey we felt like connoisseurs when we left.
Definitely can’t wait to visit again!

Great Time learning about Spirits

By Paris D |

The tasting and the history was cool. The mechanics of brewing was awesome too. Going through the whole brewing process from grain to bottle.

A Fun Evening

By hccc |

Deirdre was a great guide. She kept things interesting and fun and was very knowledgeable. The tasting was nice and the bar and view is great.

Great experience

By Jeff J |

Great experience you could feel the energy of the real Baltimore . Learning the process and the facts that everything used in the process comes from local Maryland farms .

Great tour and tasting

By Michael R |

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job. The tasting portions were more generous than anticipated as we tried 6 different selections about 0.5 ounces each.

Great Time

By Brian H |

Tour was great and informational. Tour guide, Deidra, was fun. Tastings were awesome. Definitely will return.

By Emily M |

I came on a Saga-Saturday for a tour and Christine was our tour guide. My friends and I had a blast walking around Sagamore and learning about the distilling process. Such a fun experience to have in our hometown! The whiskey was also amazing so we especially loved the tasting at the end. Thanks Christine and Sagamore Spirit!

ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE

By MICHELE M |

I enjoyed the knowledgeable rep named Nicole. She was friendly and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be back.

Informative tasting

By BJT |

Due to COVID-19, they only offered the tasting. This is why I gave 3 stars. I would like to do the tour one day!

Great experience.

By Mike E |

Tour was fantastic. Tour guide was excellent and the tasting was wonderful! Very informative, relaxed and fun. Very clean facility.

Great addition to Baltimore!

By Renee H |

We took a tour this past Sunday of Sagamore Distillery. Tour was informative and great info on the history of Rye in Maryland. Our tour guide Georgina was excellent! Tasting was fun and my favorite pairing was Rye with dark chocolate! A great activity to get out of the heat in August.

Whiskey tasting

By Explorer67135187821 |

It was a fun and amazing experience.. thanks Christine you were great. You made a n enjoyable tour.

Great tour

By 7isheaven |

Our tour guide Keyah was excellent!! She made the tour and the tasting. It was very cool to learn how their whiskey was made and to actually see it in action! I highly recommend. The tasting was delicious of course.

Whiskey review

By Jarren M |

The tour was very informative and the whiskey was great. We really enjoyed our experience and will be back to enjoy more whiskey.

NOTHING SAYS RYE WHISKEY LIKE A SCENTED CANDLE!

By Jack S |

So there we were, smack in the middle of the holiday season, on a quest for the ultimate in DIY holiday cheer. Sagamore's Classic Cocktails Class was calling our names because, let's face it, who needs a bartender when you can learn to shake and stir like a pro yourself?

We navigated our way through Port Covington, just past the future Under Armour HQ, found a spot in the parking lot of the future Rye Tavern Restaurant, then wound our way along the future sidewalks past the future occupancy apartment buildings.

Clearly Baltimore's version of a Chinese Ghost City, the only signs of life were two rent-a-cops on patrol. Were we too late for the apocalypse? Had the city been evacuated, and we missed the memo? Note to self: always check FEMA alerts before heading to Port Covington.

The Sagamore Distillery itself stood as a beacon of civilization in this eerily quiet landscape. Its massive gift shop tempted us with all things Sagamore branded — booze, cocktail sets, clothes, and yes, even candles. We snagged one because nothing says Rye Whiskey like a sandalwood scented soy candle with hints of amber and musk.

Eventually we were summoned into a classroom setting with two tiers of tables and chairs facing a huge set of screens displaying crime-free photos of the Baltimore waterfront (clearly computer generated).

Now, as a devout Old Turkey enthusiast, I approached Sagamore Rye with a mix of skepticism and...more skepticism. It was a sacrifice I was willing to make for the sake of yuletide merriment.

Our instructor, Jake, embodied the quintessential distillery worker — bearded, LL Bean-ish, John Deere style baseball cap, someone who clearly knows his way around a vat of corn mash.

I suspected many of our fellow classmates leaned more towards Orange Crushes and Fireball shots in their regular repertoire of libations, rather than Sazeracs and Black Manhattans. But hey, who am I to judge?

Jake masterfully guided us through the alchemy of cocktail preparation, arming each student with the tools and ingredients to craft a Sazerac and a Black Manhattan. All the while, he regaled us with tales of Maryland Rye Whiskey — a tipple with a sweeter and milder profile compared to its rye counterparts.

In conclusion, if you ever find yourself wandering through the empty streets of Port Covington, wondering if everyone else got the memo about the evacuation, do yourself a favor: head to Sagamore's Classic Cocktails Class. It's a fantastic way to spend an evening, learning the art of mixology while pondering the mysteries of urban development.

Fun tour

By Beth G |

Interesting first hand view of how whiskey is made. Got to taste different types while the tour guide explained various details of flavors. The facility itself is on the water and has pretty views.

Distillery Tour Experience

By David S |

Very nice tour of the Sagamore distillery at Baltimore Peninsula. Wholeheartedly commend our informative and amusing guide, Jake, for walking us through the distilling process and the tasting. Of particular note were the fabulous cocktails we enjoyed at their on-site lounge overlooking the scenic Patapsco River.

Beautiful Date Night at Sagamore Spirit Distillery

By Brianna B |

My date and I were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance of Sagamore and the wealth of knowledge our cocktails class instructor, Kia, had. We very much enjoyed our experience and look forward to visiting again soon!

Rye for the try

By mayaphototrips |

Look find out how rye is brewed. Taste samples of rye. Daily tours.
Gift shop is full of rye products. Talk a walk. Sit outside enjoy a cocktail and have a meal within walking distance

"Neat" Tour

By CurlyQ21601 |

Lowell was a fantastic tour guide. The tour was quick, easy and knowledgeable. Who knew, MD was not a part of prohibition?? and at one time 41 distilleries were located here?!?! Good stuff!! Plenty of parking, the view is incredible. The tour was about 40 minutes, both inside and out. Be dressed accordingly. The walk was not long. The bottling center was incredible, the fact it is still done by hand by 2 people daily.

Only downfalls, There were toddlers/babies on our tour. Lowell made the best of it, for sure. I would recommend there be an option for non-tasting tour for families. Tasting tours should be for 21 and over.

Fun cocktail class

By anbsmom |

The cocktail class is well-organized and social distancing is maintained throughout. All the ingredients are high quality and Justin walked us through some of the history of rye whiskey in Maryland as well as through crafting the cocktails. We had an excellent time. I would highly recommend a visit to Sagamore.

Sagamore Tour

By Pioneer05301290722 |

What a great experience!
Our tour guide Leah was amazing!
New Bourbon that just came out was phenomenal!
If you’re in Baltimore, this is a must see!

Sunset Cruise

By Dona C |

The sunset cruise was awesome! First you get a tasting of a bunch of Sagamore offerings. Then you are provided a Sagamore drink for the boat ride - you get to see the City skyline in the sunset. Everyone is so nice and it was a great time... and a great value!

Go to Sagamore

By Francesca A |

Fantastic tour and a friendly staff! Be sure to make time for a drink at the bar after your tour.
At this point in time there is a ton of construction around the distillery, which caused problems for almost every patron we came across, perhaps a warning in the confirmation email for the tour would be prudent.

Sunday tour

By Sightsee63604079112 |

Our tour on Sunday was so fun! All the employees were wonderful and our guide Lars was so fun! We had two rye drinkers, two definitely not and one on the fence. Even the ones who don't like rye had fun! The facility is beautiful and I would highly recommend this tour!!!

Tasting with Friends

By Eabaylin |

The tasting room was nice and the whiskey tasting was plenty to try.
The person who was our tasting person was not very friendly and her interaction with the group of us was lacking enthusiasm.

Highly Recommend Touring Sagamore Spirit Distillery

By Bill G |

The tour and tasting was awesome. Sagamore is truly a Maryland treasure. Our guide did a great job. Everyone was extremely freindly.

Sagamore craft your own

By Cruiser20433268832 |

Amazing!! I had such a great time. The staff was so great and informative. It’s a great date night experience or even just a fun outing with a friend!

Wait for the Coupon!!

By Nick B |

I had a god time there and the whiskey was really good. I actually bought 4 bottles. Which brings me to this review, wait for the coupon. Today I received an email stating as a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you 20% off. This would have saved me $100 dollars. I feel they should have offered this after the tour when most people are buying the whiskey. Sending the coupon the day after tells me that they really appreciate that I paid full price yesterday, but here is a coupon to buy more. I won't be buying anymore!!!

Awesome place!!!

By LaNesha A |

I came for the create your own cocktail class
It was very nice! The people were super friendly
And the recipes were great!
I really enjoyed it!!

Very great experience

By Devin's P |

We had a GREAT time with Kia and Lydia. Great host , so pleasant and made everyone so comfortable. Definitely coming back soon.

Employees Need Training

By LPG |

I brought my boyfriend here with his friends for his birthday and as unfortunately it was a huge disappointment.

Our experience was basically ruined by a tour guide named Marley. All I can say was that she was extremely rude and unpleasant to be around. Not only did she raise her voice rudely to customers, but anytime someone asked a question on the tour, it was met with a sarcastic or rude response.

To make matters worse she completely belittled the girl she was training multiple times during the tour. It was beyond cringe worthy. I think I speak for everyone on the tour when I say we were completely mortified for the girl in training, who was clearly learning and trying her best.

I highly suggest that management invests in customer service training for Marley and teaches her how to talk to and train other employees before she becomes and HR nightmare.

Girls Tour

By Betty J |

This was my 2nd tour and I still loved it!!! It was a great girls tour! Customer service was on point and friendly. Highly recommend for Whisky enthusiasts

Absolutely a must stop for at least 2-3 drinks!

By FREPLUG |

This place does it right. They offer decent craft drinks served by awesome, friendly and helpful staff. It is a bit overpriced but thats par for the course. The drinks were good, atmosphere good and staff amazing. Highly recommend making this a stop. Stay aways from the place next door and the bad service and let the Sagamore treat you right!

Excellent afternoon

By Rob R |

Amazing value. Distillery tour was thorough and really felt as though we got more than our money’s worth on the cocktail making class/tour. Never change your pricing on these !

Amazing Time!!

By Drew K |

This was a fantastic experience! Our tour guide Lydia was delightful and very informative, and was able to make the tour both a fun and enjoyable learning experience. Great atmosphere down at Sagamore, and even better whiskey!

So Much Fun

By Sara M |

Everything! Our tour guide was fun and engaging. We had fun laughing with her. The tasting was interesting and delicious. I especially enjoyed the reserve "lost and found" selection

Labor Day Wknd Getaway with Babe

By BenzGuy22 |

Beautiful campus in a beautiful location. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Great bargain for the price of admission. Nice souvenir shop

By Mia Jones |

I was so impressed with the Whiskey Tasting & Tour.

First off, ASK FOR KIA. Besides being SUPER SWEET, cute, and fun, she was full of knowledge.

My husband was able to get a personalized bottle of the 6 year reserve. I walked away with a cute cup.

The tasting was definitely worth the buzz. If you’re not a whiskey drinker make sure you follow your tour guides instructions. You’ll learn to truly enjoy your glass of whiskey.

Will definitely visit again!

Sagamore Spirit Distillery

By Lisa G |

I thought Kentucky had the best distilleries, but this place is hands down one of the best distilleries that I have ever been to. Jake, our guide, was exceptional and super knowledgeable about their products and the history of Rye Whiskey in Baltimore. The tasting room is located near the harbor and the view is beautiful. Besides, the whiskey, I recommend the dark chocolate candy that is served with the samples!!

Great whiskey learning

By Cheryl B |

This was a great educational experience. Deidre, out for guide, made the whole tour fun, too. Loved the tasting at the end of the tour as it influenced my purchase before leaving the distillery.

Fun Saturday Afternoon Activity for 21 & Older

By Shertinas Travel |

The facilities and location are beautiful. Our tour guide Jake was fun, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the process of whiskey making from its early beginnings to its present day process. We even learned what happens to the not so perfect batches.

The tasting room is beautiful and located next to the onsite bar and a few steps to the store where you can purchase a few bottles to take home with you.

The whiskey gets stronger with each sample but I enjoyed the process. LOL!

Nextdoor is the Rye Street Tavern which has bites to eat and outdoor space to relax, sip on your beverage of choice while enjoying the views of the Patapsco River. They were not open when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon at 3PM which was fine because we had just come from having a fulfilling lunch.

There was ample free parking available next to the building. Groups of lawn chairs facing the water while you wait for your tour to start.

Great tour

By cliffberg66 |

Great tour best distillery tour I have been on saw mash great guide very friendly and informative great store

Fun and great for couples

By Carmera T |

Keyah the guide was great. She was very friendly and enthusasic.
The boat trip was nice, especially in the evening. The canned cocktails were good and the tasting was fun. We will definitely be back for a full distillery tour and other upcoming events.

Great way to spend an hour

By Marla M |

Excellent experience, the tour guide Leah was incredibly fun and helpful and knowledgeable. Loved the tasting at the end of the tour. Finished with a visit to Rye Street Tavern right there for happy hour and snacks!

Distillery with views of the harbor!

By Roam Free |

Highly recommend stopping in for a visit. Really nice distillery tour and patio overlooking the harbor is great to hangout and have a drink afterwards.

Amazing venue to visit

By Katie T |

I was really impressed with Sagamore. I booked a tasting in advance (was too late to get a tour - I need to plan ahead better next time). We arrived and just felt such a good vibe walking towards the buildings. The architecture and design are beautiful, there was live music outside by the water, and the food truck in the parking lot was a nice feature. Inside, we were warmly greeted by a team member and while we waited for our tasting, we explored the shop and the outdoor bar. The merchandise in the shop is beautiful and very well thought out. Quite upscale and classy. The outdoor space is so nice and the bartenders were incredibly friendly. The tasting room was set up so nicely and Anna was a great hostess guiding us through the tasting. We really enjoyed everything about the place and cannot wait to go back.

Keyah is the BOMB!

By MoFer |

The best part was our TOUR GUIDE KEYAH! She was fantastic! Perfect to do for a start to Date night .

Learn about Rye and sample a great selection

By Laura A |

Informative distillery tour about their process and Rye in Maryland. Tasting after your was great. Rye Bar a must. Bought our favorites after and some if the new canned drinks!

Excellent Rye tour

By Joseph A |

Awesome tour! Learned some history about Rye in the state of Maryland. Also included a wonderful tasting. Our guide Georgina was great.

Great Time for Any Occassion

By Travis C |

This was a surprise gift from my girlfriend for my birthday and I couldn’t have been more tickled. It was absolutely amazing. Great tour with tons of information, history, & humor. The tasting was awesome as well. There were 5 different Rye whiskey’s to taste. The tasting also give you a nice buzz. Afterwards we went to the bar and enjoyed the outside area by the water. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this place, Rye Whiskey, & tour/tasting to anyone thinking about it.

Great tour and tasting. Check it out!

By Tammy B |

We were in Baltimore the weekend and booked a tour at Sagamore distillery. The tour was excellent. Our guide, Jake, was very informative. Funny and moved at a good pace. The tasting was great. Overall a really good experience well worth the time and price.

Sagamore Spirits Don't miss this one

By Wiz463 |

Don't miss this distillery tour. Staff is informative. Facility id beautiful. Rye is excellent.

Fun and different

By Travel is life |

Awesome experience making cocktails. Great for couples and something fun to do. I would recommend and check out the gift shop.

Great Experience!

By Nisha N |

This wa great experience! The whiskey was amazing and the boat ride was Everything! The staff are amazing and made it fun. The weather was perfect, and the sunset over the water was gorgeous. I will definitely do this again!

Terrible

By Ziairea C |

I would give it a 0, but that’s not possible, so I give them a 1. They gave me the incorrect address & then when I called the same lady back, she gave me different address that was 19 mins away & I was informed that I couldn’t come because I wouldn’t make it in time. I was very disappointed.

By iKayenn |

Great tour, and Diedre, our tour guide, was absolutely fun. The tour did not take long, and the tasting at the end is well organized. I think adding root beer or such to the "accompanying kids'" tasting list would make them more cooperative, leaving their parents enjoy the tour a little bit more.

Nice Tour

By barroske |

Very nice tour. The staff at the distillery, tour guides, bartenders, etc. are very knowledgeable and very nice. The tour is informative and the tasting at the end provides a nice tasting of their whiskey.

Cocktails made easy!

By ECMom15 |

I brought my son and his girlfriend to the cocktail flight experience. They did a great job keeping us safe while enjoying a spirited seasonal cocktail making session!

Water Taxi cruise was great

By Danika |

We did the Water Taxi tasting cruise, and it was so much fun! Check-in was super easy, and the hostess did a great job of keeping everything on schedule. You start at the Sagamore store, in the bar area for an informative whiskey tasting. Then you get a complementary can of Sagamore cocktail before heading out to the awaiting Water Taxi, where you can purchase additional cocktail cans while riding all around the Inner Harbor for around an hour. Highly recommend!

10/10

By Glenna D |

Lars was very fun and knowledgeable. I didn’t even like whiskey that much prior to this experience but the drinks were great and I learned so much about cocktail making!

Great tour and cocktail making class!

By maryangelab2017 |

Mike was a great tour guide, and the tour was very informative and fun! We very much enjoyed the welcome cocktail before the tour and the rye tastings at the end!

Lars was a terrific host/instructor for the cocktail making class, and the cocktails we made with his direction were delicious!

Engaging!

By Tiffanni |

The host was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. I can not remember the young mans name but he was very informative and answered all of our inquiries with thoroughly and happily. The tasting was a fun experience and was well organized with a professional set up. I thought we would have an opportunity to tour the distillery, but the experience was still overall a very good one. We grabbed a bottle of the double oak!

Well worth it and very enjoyable.

By Mary Beth O |

Sagamore Distillery tour is worth the visit! Check was smooth as well as parking. There is a welcome cocktail to be enjoyed as you browse the well stocked gift shop. The grounds are beautifully done. The outdoor seating area is relaxing and welcoming. The tour is thorough and we all learned quite a bit about the distillery process and what make Sagamore stand out from the crowd. The private tasting room and tasting was a highlight of the tour!

By Charles |

This use to be a great place however, since being sold this place is starting to go completely down hill. They have eliminated half the drinks they offered, have discontinued all their canned cocktails, and the last few times I’ve been they are out of some type of ingredient and can’t make a few of the limited drinks they offer.

I use to love going here for an awesome day out but now it’s very commercialized and there are other places I would choose to go over sagamore.

10 out of 10 Whiskey food pairing

By Rob Edrington |

Wow. 10 out of 10. We experienced the food and whiskey pairing, what a wonderful experience by friendly knowledgeable staff. We can’t wait for the next one.

Fun, quick afternoon tour

By Chance P |

Loved this tour! Highly recommend if you're in the area and have some time to kill. It's an easy, informative walk around a distillery with tasty whiskey at the end, what's not to love?

Fourth Time was the Best!

By Timothy |

This was our fourth tour and tasting and it was our best one! Our guide, Marley, was so very engaging and knowledgeable that we learned so many things we hadn't learned before! She should be commended for representing Sagamor Sprit so well!

Good times!

By Dylan P |

Had a great time! Enjoyed all the whiskey varieties and learning about it the history of whiskey making in Maryland

Cool place to tour!

By Yvette R |

If you like quick and straight to the point, this is for you. We had a 20 min tour about the distillery and ended with the tastings. Overall, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoys her job at the distillery. We are looking forward to be back in the near future to try the cocktail class.

Family Fun

By Charisma W |

Me and my Family had a Wonderful time our tour guide Christina was the best she was funny and very informative I learned so much about Rye Whiskey
When you plan your tour make sure you ask for Christina
Thanks the Wright Family

Wonderful Guided Tasting

By MCKing |

My small group did the guided tasting at the distillery with Lo. Their Covid precautions were great and really made us feel safe and comfortable. Lo was an amazing guide who answered our questions and really set the mood for the night.

Wonderful Experience

By Tonya G |

The tour was fun and informative! The tasting at the end of the tour was wonderful. My husband and I purchased the Double Oak Rye because that was our favorite once we were able to sample the others.

Great experience

By Kasey F |

Very informative and really enjoyable. Great whiskeys and really cool campus. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area whiskey fan or not.

By Will G |

The tour was great, Michael was our guide and he did an awesome job educating us on the whiskey making process. Sagamore makes terrific products too. The best part of it was the integration into the peninsula area. There was music and outdoor bars. We were unprepared as we didn't bring umbrellas (it was hot and sunny) and chairs to enjoy the outdoor area more. The Rye Street Tavern looked amazing as well. It was more crowded than I expected. Highly recommend, just plan ahead better than we did. Make reservations at Rye Street and/or bring chairs and shade.

Being a Tourist in My City

By Ali B |

Fantastic Whiskey distillery in Baltimore, MD. If you haven’t taken the time to do a tour or tasting, it’s worth the time. The bar is amazing too! The special seasonal drinks are great too- especially the Watermelon Crush with Whiskey!

Great Weather, Great Experience/Tour & Great Whiskey

By BaltimoreAllOva82 |

This was a great tour and experience . My tour guide Christine was awesome! She has spunk, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I loved how she would keep us entertained with questions, dad jokes and tid bits of information of her own. She was very personable which made this so fun. The whiskey is awesome, the facility is great and the bar superb. Even if you are not whiskey drinker it was great to learn some history and enjoy the facility .

Great experience!

By Wendy W |

I had such a great experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating.. she made our experience a memorable one
 definitely recommend.

Great experience at the Distillery

By Carol H |

Really enjoyed our tour of the Sagamore Distillery. While waiting for our tour to start was given a small cocktail Our guide Lars was very knowledgeable, friendly, and had a good sense of humor. Learned a lot about the history of Rye whisky in Baltimore after the tour went to the tasting room and tried 4 their whiskies. When the experience was over walked next door and had an official excellent lunch at The Rye Street Tavern

Outstanding Cocktail Class @ Sagamore

By Michele S |

We participated in the seasonal cocktail class and oh my...what fun! The instructors were educated and interesting and lively. The location and preparations for us were top notch. We had a great time and plan to bring friends back for a couples evening!

Distillery tour is awesome!

By Sonia M |

The tour was so informative and enjoyable! Christine was an awesome tour guide! We will return with other friends!

Amazing

By Glenn K |

I love coming here. The staff are amazing, the drinks are amazing and the events are always fun. I highly recommend it and becoming a whiskey thief

Well worth a visit

By Peter G |

Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide.got to see the whole process from water and grain to the finished product. Final tasting was very well done

Whiskey tour

By Taysha B |

Amazing staff and overall experience! Definitely a must if you are in the area. The waterfront bar was the cherry on top!

Fantastic experience

By Allyson H |

This is our FOURTH time doing the tour/tasting because it is awesome! We always bring visitors and enjoy it every single time. Highly recommend for Baltimore natives, recent transplants, and visitors.

Tourtastic!

By Daniel R |

The tour and tasting was awesome. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the distillery and how the whiskey is made. The gift shop was really cool too. I can't wait to visit again once it's warmer out.

If in Baltimore and you like whiskey, go see Sagamore!!!

By Richard H |

The tour was really interesting. As a novice whiskey aficionado, it was great to learn about Rye Whiskey production in Maryland and Sagamore's process. The facility is very clean and attractive. Leah was great as a tour guide, and of course, the whiskey tasting was a great finish.

Loved the chocolate pairing class

By Mark K |

Signed up for a chocolate/whiskey pairing experience and really enjoyed it. It started with a tour of the distillery, which we’ve done before but it’s always interesting. Then we went to their tasting room and had pieces of chocolate, custom created by Art Eatables in Kentucky to pair with particular expressions of Sagamore Rye.

We decided since we’d be there to make reservations at the Rye Street Tavern (next door) and had dinner there prior to the class. All of it was wonderful, and looking forward to our next visit to Sagamore.

Best Whiskey Tour You Will Ever Have!

By Mimi P |

The best part of this experience was the entire tour. Our tour guide made the experience fun and energetic. The whiskey tasting at the end was educational. I am still talking about Sagamore.

Craft Your Own Cocktail - A Must Do!

By bryadventure |

My girlfriend and I started our weekend getaway in Baltimore with a Craft Your Own Cocktail class at Sagamore. From first entrance to bartender to class team members, everyone was extremely kind and made the experience wonderful. Especially our class leader, Keyah. We made two cocktails which used different techniques. Presentation of class materials (glasses, etc.) were excellent. I must add, the dynamic of our particular group added an element of excitement. Don’t miss an opportunity to enjoy a drink beforehand out on the patio or grassy area. Thank you for a great start to our trip!

By MarryingInJAM |

John Michael made our tour of the distillary an amazing one! We so enjoyed the history and geography lesson shared with us. We also appreciated the Science of it all!! Thank you John Micheal and team for an educational memorable experience in our own backyard! Well done!! Keyah was also incredible and a pleasure to behold. Great presence and leader!!

Excellent time

By konishia w |

Loved the tour it was very informative and the tour guide was funny. The tasting was also great. I will be back.

Fantastic Distillery Tour!

By Caroline McKeldin Wayner |

If you like to see how things are made, then you must go on this tour. It is so interesting, but the operation isn't huge, so you really get up close to the workings of a distillery.

Our tour guide, Christine, was fantastic and really made the tour special. At the end, you get to sample four different types of rye, and you get a rye-infused chocolate truffle.

We learned so much and had a wonderful time. And the view of the water is lovely.

The restaurant next door, The Rye Street Tavern, will be reopening in the spring, and it makes a good complement to the tour.

Oh, and the gift shop has really cool merchandise, from bottles of rye to rye-scented candles. Lots to choose from.

It’s good to be a Thief


By Ken K |

Went to Sagamore for a Whiskey Thieves event. Turned out to be a great opportunity to taste different bottles with a free cocktail. They always take care of their customers. Fun event. Can’t wait to go back for another weekend event with live music, drinks, and food!

Sagamore Spirit - Spread the Word!

By EZGoingTraveler10001 |

Stopped en route on a trip, just passing through but will definitely be back. They have several outdoor seating areas including a bar overlooking the water. While it's a working harbor, it's water, grass, comfortable seats and a good vibe, what more do you need? A drink, loved ours. For a real treat stop by Sip and Dip for crab cakes to go, drive on over to the distillery, get a few drinks at the bar and enjoy your feast. Alternatively, do what we did; make a picnic out of what ever you happen to have in your road trip cooler, everything tastes better with Sagamore Whiskey!

Surprisingly great experience!!

By Debbie B |

We went to tour the distillery and didn’t have high expectations, however, we were surprised that tour was exceptional.
Luckily, we had Andrew as our tour guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and personable.
Seeing the vessels that they use to make a variety of whiskies with the yeast causing the liquid to bubble and give off heat. You are really in a facility that makes spirits!!
You even get to see the wooden oak barrels in the bottling room where there is a conveyor belt to fill and label the bottles.

After the tour of the distillery, you are brought into a lovely tasting room. Andrew is an enthusiastic whiskey teacher who taught us how to really have the full experience of tasting whiskies.
Would definitely go back if more company comes to visit us in Baltimore. You will not be disappointed.

Whiskey Tour!

By Justin C |

Your was fantastic! Really enjoyed our time and staff was very friendly! Great seeing some distillery specific bottles that you can’t get in stores!

We both enjoyed it!

By Linda H |

I'm not a whiskey drinker (vodka please), but my husband is. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and tasting! Our guide Mike was excellent. He was informative and funny. The tasting was the first time I truly appreciated the taste difference in the various ryes. Thank you!

Excellent Sagamore tour and drinks

By Rob Edrington |

We attended a Whiskey Happy Hour and mini tour. Christine was the best tour I’ve experienced in a long time from numerous tours I’ve attended. If you let her go, you are crazy. Her excitement about every aspect of the Sagamore was a joy. She was funny and knowledgeable without being corny. When I do a tour again, I have to have Christine.
As always, Justin was on point with his drinks and always a pleasure capturing additional Sagamore knowledge from. One of the Sagamore reps, Tim, was there and gave us a wealth of not only Sagamore knowledge but industry knowledge which was so cool for him to take the time.
Sagamore tour and cocktail lounge is a must if you visit Baltimore.

Making Craft Cocktails makes a great date night event!

By Deborah H |

My husband and I participated in the Craft Cocktail Class and had a great time. It was the perfect mid week date night event. We laughed, drank and met some other nice people.

A WHISKEY EVENT TO REMEMBER

By Gabriella774532 |

Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I was treated as if I'd known everyone for years. I was very Happy with the tastings, the good food that was passed out was incredible as well. I didn't receive a tour though, I'm not at all displeased though. I'd love to thank the entire staff for being so specific and explaining everything thoroughly to us regarding each product.

Worth it

By Joshua G |

Tour guide was nice and very knowledgeable. Beautiful distillery and scenery.
Delicious whiskey and the whiskey bar cocktails were great!!

Nice distillery

By Brad |

The distillery is fresh and new. The bourbon was surprisingly good and priced well. If your in Baltimore don’t miss out on this place.

Yoga was great!

By Lauren H |

We did the Sunday morning yoga and whisky experience and LOVED it! Marisa was an excellent instructor and the cocktails after class hit the spot.

Outstanding experience on the waterfront

By Allyson H |

Lydia was our tour guide and she was great! Learned so much and really loved the tasting. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Beautiful location, allergic to making money

By Adam A |

Good cocktails when they’ll serve it to you. If you’d like to partake in beverages make sure you come more than an hour before close. We showed up 40 mins before close and they had already called last call which seems ridiculous.

Baltimore's Historic Rye

By Mark A |

Its great having a distillery of this caliber here in Baltimore. This was my second trip. My son (recently turned 21) was with me and loved the whole experience. I highly recommend the tour not just the Ryes. And if you can try to get Christine, she is fantastic, engaging, energized even in the 90 degree weather, and really loves what she does. I've done the Jameson tour in Ireland, and it makes me proud that we have one of our own. Seeing the mash up close and personal is actually something you don't get to do at Jameson, so one up on us!

Cannot Wait to Return

By Georgette W |

A beautiful facility, great staff and the bar room had wonderful craft cocktails. I cannot wit for the spring/summer and relax on the lawn in the chairs and drinks at the Tiki Bar. I will be bringing all my out of town guest for the experience.

Patapsco River Ryes

By Shawn H |

Sagamore Spirit is as far from your typical garage distillery tour. The distillery clearly spent a lot of time thinking about the guest experience and investing in the distillery campus. First, though, you have to get there. The distillery sits behind the ongoing Port Covington development, which has resulted in road closures. If you are taking an uber - tell them to drop you at the currently closed Rye Street Tavern to avoid ending up awkwardly at a delivery entrance.

Because of the construction and the pandemic closure of the restaurant, the distillery campus feels a bit quiet and empty - but its still worth the trip. We took the tour and tasting and very much enjoyed learning about the process of making this unique rye whiskey with a very engaging tour guide who walked us through each step with humor. We got there early, so we started with a cocktail at the outdoor waterfront bar before the tour (worth a trip on its own). After the tour, we got a fair mini-shot taste of about six of the whiskeys on offer - a couple of which are unique distillery exclusives. After our tour, we enjoyed the very nice gift shop - buying a couple bottles of whiskey and some flavored syrup for our home cocktails.

Sagamore provided an excellent experience

By Alexandra B |

We participated in the Cocktails Class and Tasting at Sagamore. We were hosted by Kia, who was wonderful and very knowledgable. The drinks we made were absolutely delicious. And of course, you cannot go wrong with rye. Also, Sagamore has a great gift shop with lots of high quality items (and WHISKEY!). Oh, and the view was lovely! We plan to visit again soon. Thank you!

Great tour with friends

By L Henderson |

The tour was informative and fun. Our tour guide Keyah was excellent and very knowledgeable, she made the entire trip worth while.

Very Cool - dont miss

By Chad R |

very informative - got into detail about their product. We were where the stuff is made, very cool. The tasting pulled it all together for our group.

Great location and great tasting whiskey

By Angela W |

Great location for learning the history of whiskey in Maryland and an informative tour of a working distillery. Included 5 tastings.

Non-Whiskey Drinker Won Over

By Kris C. |

We had a great time at Sagamore Distillery. I’m usually not a whiskey drinker but we attended the class in celebration of my husband’s birthday. We left with two new drink recipes and two bottles. And, we’re already planning our next trip. Thanks to Mike for being a wonderful instructor!

Definitely a must-do in Baltimore!

By Maryanna |

Great time celebrating a birthday! Tour guide Christine was AMAZING! Learned so much and awesome samples at the end!

Fabulous Tour

By Jeff I |

Fabulous tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who likes whiskey!

Sagamore

By Celeste B |

Please don't come to Baltimore without visiting! Everyone was nice and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. It is also close to the inner harbor.

Great tour, Great facility. Learned alot

By nappturalbeauty1913 |

Very pleasant experience. Although we didn’t get to see bottling and other parts of the distilling process in live action because it was a Sunday, everything else was fantastic: the fermentation process, the tasting at the end, the knowledge of the tour guide Andrew, the cleanliness of the facility. Overall, for someone who doesn’t know how spirits or whiskey is made, this is an amazing tour. The tour is very nice. Two things that could be improved is offering smaller bottle for purchase at the end of the tour. Many people didn’t purchase at the end because they were new to whiskey drinking and only wanted to take a small bottle for drinking or gifting; probably because you only sip a small portion and it’s hard to decide so quickly at the end. Secondly, it would be nice to highlight if they support substance abuse programs considering they are in Baltimore. Overall, I would go again or take visiting family.

Such an enjoyable activity to do in the Maryland area

By grandmasterlangham |

From the moment we stepped onto the property we were amazed. Everything was so well presented. When checking in we were welcomed with a small cocktail which was super.
On the tour we had Mike as our guide who was so knowledgeable. He explained every part of the whiskey making process so well that once the tour had ended we all felt like we were whiskey making regulars.
The tasting at the end of the tour was obviously a highlight for myself. Getting to try the different styles was so enjoyable.
We had two local friends from Maryland who had never been to the distillery either and they are now going to bring a lot of their friends in the future.
Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area.

Awesome cocktail making experience

By Ms. Harris |

I enjoyed an awesome cocktail tasting and making class with The Black Bourbon Society. The property is beautiful as well.

Fun times at Sagamore Springs Distillery

By Stu S |

This was our first time visiting Sagamore Spirits Distillery. We took the hour tour and whisky tasting. Both were fantastic!

The buildings where the distillery was were great. The tour guide and everyone there were very nice. They had a great gift shop with many bottles of their whisky as well as other things.

I purchased a few bottles of whiskey and they even packed the bottles in a box for shipping within the state.

Thanks all for a great day!

Stuart

Bottoms Up!

By Christine B |

Spent an enjoyable afternoon with my friends at the Sagamore Distillery. We took an informative tour to see the steps in making rye whiskey. Then, the best part - the tasting!!! We enjoyed tasting 5 different types of rye and it definitely influenced my later purchase in the distillery shop! Great experience. I highly recommend a visit to the distillery and, especially, a tour!

Fun time - safe during COVID

By Kaylyn M |

I attended the $10 tasting with my husband and two adult sons. The tasting was a great value, informative and the chocolate truffle was so good with the tasting! Unfortunately the tours of the distillery nor the tavern have reopened yet but that gives us a reason to come back. There was a food truck in the parking lot and they had a bar area to order extra drinks after the tasting with a nice deck area to sit and watch the water.

I’d highly recommend if your looking for something fun for a few hours for over 21 crowd.

A good time!

By Drea L |

Phenomenal experience! Enjoyed learning about the history and current production. Our tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable. The tasting at the end was great! Really worth the money and a good time!

Great tour and tasting!

By Chris Lynch |

We had a great guide! She was so enthusiastic about Sagamore. And I thought I knew a good deal about distilling, but i learned so much more. It is also a beautiful location and facility.

Worth the time

By CraigJ |

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the distillery tour and tasting. Very informative on the history of Sagamore and the distilling process. You have the opportunity to tour the facility from the beginning of the process through the bottling. We even had the opportunity to actually part of the fermenting process. Our tour guide Kia was PHENOMENA. Very knowledgeable about each stage, encouraged questions, personable and fun. The best part of the tour is the tasting at the end. We learn so much about the barreling and aging process the gives the whiskey its flavor profile.

Awesome tour!

By Rosie C |

I'm not a huge rye whiskey drinker, but the tour was so interesting! We learned so much about whiskey and Maryland's history of rye whiskey. It was only an hour long which was a perfect length. The tasting at the end was an added bonus as well. Christine, our tour guide, was super bubbly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

AWESOME!!!

By LaTasha I |

You must go for a tour even if you are not a big whiskey fan. My husband is so I went for him and I had a great time. Keyah our tour guide was the absolute best :-) her knowledge of the whiskey making process was incredible.

Fun place to visit

By star557799 |

Enjoyed my visit to the distillery. We didn't take a tour as I was with family members who had already taken one but I got a flight to taste; I especially liked the Double Oak, which I bought. We had cocktails outside and I can recommend the Sagamore Fizz! We enjoyed looking on as a group made their own cocktail glasses. Would like to come back and eat in the restaurant when it's open.

Great bday activity

By Tee |

I took my boyfriend for the Can mixer cocktail class and a tour. He really enjoyed himself. Afterwards we went to the bar and had speciality drinks. A must try when in Baltimore. I personally am not a whiskey drinker; however he is, but I enjoyed everything.

Thanks for making rye

By Ken B II |

Loved whole tour
Great whiskey and the tour with the tasting was excellent ..... will be a loyal Drinker of Sagamore

Well organized tour and tasting

By Bill B |

Sagamore Distillery has been in operation about 6 years, but it has a highly organized and educational program that one would expect from Distilleries that have been running for decades. The setting is beautiful next to the water/harbor in the quickly developing Port Covington area of South Baltimore. The surrounding construction did make navigating the road into the area a bit tricky, so don't be deterred by detour and other signs, but keep.your eyes on the well placed Sagamore directional signs. The campus is well placed at the waters edge, with adequate parking, a well kept lawn, and plenty of picnic tables. One building near the entrance contains a restaurant and offices. The tour operations start, not surprisingly in a gift shop that sells both the product itself as well as souvenirs with the appropriate logos. About 15 people had paid the tour fee and gathered in the shop by the appointed time. The process was quite informal without tickets today, but since the tour guide also worked the cash register, he easily kept track of participants. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke easily from experience. He was able to respond well to all qyestions and made everyone feel welcome. While all of us were able to navigate the stairs, it was good to see that elevators were available. The high ceilings and full window walls created a bright environment to easily view all on display. We were impressed by the large tanks of bubbling 'brew' at one end of the rye whiskey process all the way past bright copper distilling equipment to the barrels and finally the bottle labeling. The tasting room was well organized and our small subgroups of friends were able to distance themselves. Again, our tour guide expertly explained the content, aging and other processes behind each of the 5 samples we tasted. Throughout the tour even up to the tasting table hand sanitizer was available, and of note it was made right in this distilling as part of Sagamore's Covid-19 response. This was a great rainy day activity for us Baltimore natives and our out-of-town guests.

Definitely worth a visit!

By Paczkimom |

Excellent stop along the water in Baltimore. The distillery and tasting room were beautfiul. Our knowledgeable guide taught us all about the history of rye whiskey production in Maryland and America and took us through the entire process, including tasting 5 different whiskies made on site.

Great Experience

By Terrina R |

The distillery tour and tasting was so cool! I learned a lot and had fun doing it! Our tour guide Simone is the bomb!!!!!

Sagamore for the win...

By Jim K |

A fantastic experience in every way. Jake, our tour guide, did a great job of weaving together a well-balanced story about the distilling process, the history of Sagamore, and the connection of Baltimore to Rye Whiskey. The tasting was exceptionally done.

Be sure to leave enough time to visit the retail space and grab a cocktail at 1909.

“Rye”ly interesting and worth your time

By GWEN |

Tour was informative and well done. Guide was friendly and professional. Loved the historical information.

Lo the awesome whiskey guy and great tasting whiskeys.

By Rachele |

Lo, our tour guide, was fantastic. He was really up beat, made eye contact and a joy to be around. He was informative and thorough. Great conversations and thoughts shared about the whiskey and libations famous for their whiskey base. We were excited that the bottle of whiskey we bought was by Lo and that made even more special. Liked all the different notes, smells and tastes, the different whiskeys had.

Perfect day

By Carol |

Tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. Rye was divine.
Can’t wait to go back in the spring for cocktails outside. Such a great place

Don’t miss this tour

By Joseph Z |

I’d had Sagamore whiskeys before so sought out this tour during a trip to Baltimore. It was totally awesome. The tour guide was funny and very knowledgeable, able to answer the many random questions my group asked. I learned a lot, the facility was clean, and best of all the tasting was delicious. Well worth the price of admission. We stayed for a few drinks at the bar and bought a bunch of stuff from the store. It was one of the highlights of my time in Charm City. Don’t miss it!!

Keyah Head of the Class on the Rocks

By Ree Mitchell |

The tour was amazing! Best distillery I've ever toured and I've been to quite a few. My husband and I did a tour for our anniversary. Our tour guide Keyah was THE BEST! She was so knowledgeable, funny, hospitalable and personable. We have toured several distilleries and this was hands down the best and we learned more in 30 minutes than we have in 3 other tours all together. From the science of flavor why we taste the flavors we do, what to look for in color for expectations of a whisky. Outstanding!!

Best of the best.

By Steph Nicole |

Loved the experience with my boyfriend; atmosphere, staff (especially Kenneth), ambiance, the whiskey was absolutely amazing - and so was the food! I loved learning about the history of whiskey in Maryland also. We are so impressed and will definitely be back. Such a memorable experience. We also bought shirts in the gift shop and love the way the fit and feel.

Great time!

By Sightseer58223176615 |

This was an awesome tour, the Tour guide was great and very knowledgeable.
The distillery was fascinating. My husband and I truly enjoyed our time there and the samples at the end were a nice touch.

Craft Your Own Cocktail- Great Bang for Your Buck!

By Lily S |

I attended the Old Fashioned "Craft Your Own Cocktail" class. It was so much fun and a great value for the cost! We learned about the history of different types of whiskeys, how to make a classic Old Fashioned, and how to make three variations. We were able to sample three types of whiskeys and make two cocktails. I will definitely be taking more cocktail classes!

Fun and Quality distillery experience

By KAR |

Absolutely beautiful distillery in a stunning location of Baltimore. The tour and tour guide was informative and fun. The tasting at the end was awesome and featured the 3 main offerings as well as two special reserves. The cocktails at the bar after are unrivaled (we had the old fashioned and the sagamore fizz) and the bartender was super welcoming. Great experience. Will definitely return for another tour and one of the classes. So worth the drive from Philly.

Worth the trip!

By Wendy S |

This was a great experience! Lots of great history on rye whiskey in MD, beautiful facility, nice choices in tasting selection, and lots to purchase if you choose afterwards!

50th birthday bash

By Karen S |

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday by taking our family and friends on their distillery tour and a great time was had by all! The tour was limited to 24 people, who had a blast! And the rest of us (myself and husband had previously toured) where thoroughly entertained by hanging out at their wonderful bar and beautiful waterfront property!

Fun tour

By Paul B |

Definitely enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend to anyone in the area who has an interest in whiskey.

Great activity for summer or a date night

By KAR |

Always an amazing experience and now that the weather is nicer, it’s the place to be on the water. Great staff and delicious drinks. Worth the drive from Philly. The event we attended had food trucks but we went for Thai downtown. So many places to choose from after taking a tour and having a few drinks. Definitely do a tour or a class. The experience is great. Deidre was an awesome guide!

Good Times Good Drinks

By Jamahl M |

Fun and helpful staff. Nice tour. Tastings were fun. If you have time make sure to grab a drink outside at the bar

Sagamore yes please!

By Cheers |

The scenery is beautiful. Onsite parking. Great class. I will return for a tour. Only suggestion is to change the drinks at the outside bar. The peach tea and black eyed rye drink are not tasteful. The crush is a Baltimore trademark so some items must stay. Sagamore is a great tasting spirit and the cocktails should do it justice.

1st Date Went Well

By Nikima |

I had a whiskey tasting yesterday at Sagamore Spirit . I wish i had more time to enjoy the cocktails they offered after the tastings
Very informative and tasty.
Tour guide was knowledgeable and personable.
The 2 we liked the best were double oak rye and cask strength rye.
I also loved the Distillers Select that had a tequila finish.
Jive alright.
They did have a new one that was like 114proof. Yesterday was the first tasting of that. I felt like puff the magic dragon after my shot.
Smoke out my noseđŸ˜‚đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

Good Time

By Crystal J |

We were very concerned about the weather but it held out for
Us and we enjoyed the tasting and
Relaxing water ride , we will return

Perfect day for birthday celebrations

By Jennifer Z |

Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. The outdoor bar was great! There was live music and a a beautiful view over the water.

Educational

By christopher w |

The experience was great. Tour guide did an amazing job and the whiskey they give you was pretty good as well.

Great Time at Sagamore Distillery!

By Joya K |

Had an awesome time at Sagamore Spirit Distillery! The staff were friendly and accommodating. I booked the tour for the wrong day (the following Friday) and they were understanding and made the adjustment for an available tasting within the hour. The drinks on the deck were amazing and we enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs!

Great experience

By Krystal D |

Great experience! We have done it more than once and it is also a good time. You learn a lot about the history and enjoy whiskey samples. Staff and tour guides are great!

Detailed fun and informative one hour tour of Sagamore

By Mitchell C |

Came today for the tour and loved it, Myka(I believe that was her name, it was the 1pm tour on the 17th)did a phenomenal job explaining the process from start to finish and keeping it interesting throughout the tour. I would highly recommend asking for her when you come for a tour. I will definitely be back in the future! Thank you for a great experience Myka!

Great time

By Amywojo |

Great experience well organized and educational great experience well sanitized, spaced and clean. I wish the Rye Tavern was open to enjoy some food

Amazing whiskey

By Abby M |

Arrived too early to do the tour (first tour starts at 1pm) but we wanted to beat the storm that was coming in so we ended up skipping the tour. Fortunately the lady that helped us was extremely knowledgeable about the whiskey’s so she told us about the different tastes they all had. If you’re in the area and you like whiskey, it’s a must stop by place!!

Awesome Tour Christine!

By Bradley B |

The tour was amazing, I hope that Christine is in a leadership role, she deserves it so much. My girlfriend and I really really enjoyed our time there! Thank you Christine.

No tour (CV19) but the tasting guide is chipper and genuine!

By Kevin |

Tours were unavailable b/c of CV19 (darn it to heck!) but Nicole, our tasting guide, is SUPER sweet, very approachable and genuine. The kind of person you want feeding you whiskey sample after whiskey sample.
Come to the tastings if only to try to "barrel select" options, which are often very limited in quantity and offer a great expansion of your palate if you enjoy tasting new whiskey flavors.

Great time, even better whiskey!

By Shawnacj |

We attended the CAnE Collective Mixer class and it was really nice! The CAnE Collective owners were very personable and knowledgeable and gave a great presentation. They gave us an awesome tasting experience and it was fun creating my own mixer to take home. This is not my first tasting/tour at Sagamore and I'm sure it won't be my last!

Interesting and Fun Tour and Tasting

By Nick R |

Excellent tour. Great blend of history, science and marketing. All in a gorgeous facility right on the water. The guides are knowledgeable and follow a great blend of basic whisky knowledge and deeper specifics. Cost is a little high, but the tasting at the end includes their reserve series whiskies, which helps justify the cost.

60th birthday tour & tasting

By fish217 |

Took our socially distanced, masked, small private party of 9 on a tour of the Sagamore Distillery that ended with a masks off seated at a cool bar for a tasting of the best Rye whiskies in Maryland. Tour was knowledgable, fun and a great way to spend my husbands 60th birthday with close family.

Great time

By Sammi R |

I had so much fun. Our tour guide Diedra was amazing. She made it fun. The whiskey was great. I cant wait to go back and drink some more.

Craft Cocktail Class

By Jen F |

Loved being my own bartender & learning how to craft a cocktail! Both drinks were different, yet so delicious in their own way. The staff were lovely & knowledgeable. My fiancé & I enjoyed the vibe on the patio outside and the view of the water was perfect!

Cocktail Class - Not sure it's worth the price

By Tanya C |

My husband and 4 friends of ours attended the cocktail class. The presenters were great but we felt for $25 we'd get more than two cocktails. Maybe a glass to take with us or some food samples or snacks during the class, which started at 6:30 PM. We wanted to get apps ahead at the RYE St. Tavern restaurant but for some reason it's been closed since the start of the pandemic. We think this is an opportunity lost.
Regarding the class, the 3oz of low end Sagamore Rye and the mixers of simple syrup, orange peels and bitters was probably not more than a few dollars. I suggest that future classes include a swag or snacks to make the $25 per person more appealing.

Must stop!

By Jason |

Great experience! The distillery is beautiful and the whiskey tasting was so fun! A must stop in Baltimore!

Great Tour

By Brandon and Samantha |

It was a great experience! Lowe did a really good job on our tour and the bar is amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone who is into rye.

Just as good as the first time

By Alain |

I have been on numerous visits to Sagamore over the years, and it's always just as fun to go to as the first time! Taking new folks for the tour and tasting is enjoyable, and the folks working at Sagamore are always amazing.

Captivating and Fun tour and tasting!

By DebS |

An exciting tour of the process and history of Rye Whiskey in MD. We plan to return in a few years to see the community development. Sagamore Spirit’s visionary corporate plan will be a hallmark to Baltimore’s charm!

Great Virtual Experience

By Kristi Nester |

We recently did a Virtual Tasting & Cocktail Experience with our company. This was an awesome event! The kits were impressive upon opening with all ingredients needed to make our two cocktails. Lo was very knowledgeable and a great host! The Black-Eyed Rye and Whiskey Sour were top notch! The kit pick up was quick and easy. We would definitely recommend this experience for any group!

Everything Rye Whiskey!

By Sonomafig |

Deidre, our tour guide and tasting host made this an educational, fun and comprehensive visit. She is a walking encyclopedia about the operations and we enjoyed a tasting of four rye whiskeys and whiskey filled truffle. Great experience!

Best Distillery Tour

By Journey629835 |

Absolutely amazing experience! Not my first distillery tour, but by far my favorite and the best. Jake, our tour guide, was absolutely phenomenal: great energy, incredibly knowledgeable, and very personable. Would absolutely go again

Cocktail class was great!

By daniellejohnson24 |

The cocktail making class was a very fun experience! We made 2 cocktail with some in depth ingredients, learned about the bar tools, & were able to try a few different options they sell.

Sagamore Saturday

By Kathy B |

Sagamore is a great tourist attraction and a desirable one for us natives as well. The distillery and the grounds around it are beautiful and it is a well appointed waterfront property. Our tour guide was great as she took us around the distillery and guided us in the tasting of 5 pours. Afterwards we went to the bar and enjoyed a full drink and went outside to the bar and lawn area on the water.

It was a totally great experience on a Saturday afternoon.

Great Time

By EnergeticErica |

Absolutely a great time. Awesome tour and the gas tasting was great. Our tour guide Deidre was World Class. I’m going back. They have a friend in me.

This was a tasting, not a tour

By David H |

The tasting itself was good. I enjoyed everything we tasted. The employee that conducted the tour did a great job! She was fun and knowledgeable. The issue i had was that this was advertised as a tasting and tour and there was no tour. I don't know if the reason we didn't tour the distillery itself was Covid related or if there was some other reason. But essentially, I felt as though we only received half of the experience that we purchased. More importantly, we had brought a guest with us for the tour and tasting experience as well. His main reason for coming was to learn about and see the Sagamore Rye distillery itself and hear about the process. He is new to whiskey and this was to be his first tour of an actual facility. I had taken the tour before a couple years ago and enjoyed it.. Our reason for coming was because I wanted his first distillery tour to be at Sagamore specifically.

Great tour and tasting at the Sagamore Spirit Distillery in Baltimore.

By DHofHarrogate |

We had a great tour and tasting at the Sagamore Spirit Distillery in Baltimore. It was a great way to see the revival of Maryland's history as a distilling state, especially of rye whiskey, and the pride that has gone into the construction and presentation of this distillery is remarkable. Both the tour itself and the tasting of Sagamore's products were outstanding - I highly recommend a visit.

Sagamore Distillery Tour

By William H |

Georgina was a great guide, informed and engaging. As a newer distillery with some blending of history, they are doing a great job.

Great Tour & Tasting! Highly Recommend.

By Eric |

Cool place. Really interesting tour with info about not only the distillation process but also the history of Rye Whiskey. Leah was our guide and was great.

26th Anniversary weekend in Baltimore

By my2kidsmom9702 |

I booked a tour of Sagamore Distillery on a lark, when I thought it was going to the 2 of us for the weekend
celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. Well, plans are always fluid in our house, and our 19yo son ended up joining us for Saturday’s plans. We arrived a few minutes before our 12noon tour, checked in, and were invited to browse the gift shop or visit the bar. Our guide, Christine, arrived exactly at 12! We were with a group of 2 other couples & then hubs/19yo son/me. Christine was so knowledgeable about the whiskey distilling process
there wasn’t a question she didn’t know the answer to
or she faked so well she fooled us all! 😉. Seriously, at the end of the tour, we were taken to a tasting room (sorry, the 19yo got water & he got to sniff the tasters). She taught us how to “sniff”, swirl it in our mouths and “retrograde sniff”. I’m not a whiskey drinker, but I really enjoyed tasting all 5 samples and learning about them. I would definitely recommend a visit here. It truly gave me a new appreciation for the skill involved in distilling spirits
and a new job goal for our 19yo chemistry major! 😆

A Must Visit!

By Hunter M |

Outstanding outing for locals and visitors alike. Very knowledgeable tasting guide and some delicious whiskeys. We take everyone who visits from out of town here. Also, the neighboring restaurant, Rye Street Tavern, has some of the best food in the city.

Happy Fryeday!

By Chuck V |

Maeve, was my tour guide. She made the experience very pleasant and she was on point with her knowledge of the distillery and all of the processes. Good job Maeve !

The Sagamore Spirit Distillery Tasting & Tour is a must do in Baltimore!

By ssobchak |

We had a wonderful time on our tour and tasting! The tour was informative and fun. The facility was beautiful and the rye whiskies were excellent! A fabulous must do in Baltimore. Can't wait to come back and bring our family & friends. Once the construction is completed, the campus will be exquisite!

Rye on Fri-day

By Thomas B |

This was my second tour - the first was during the pandemic. I really enjoyed this one - it was more relaxed. Great time for anyone coming into Baltimore!

Definitely Worth a Visit

By Wanda R |

Sagamore Spirit Distillery is an amazing place. The welcome center is beautiful - lots to see and a great gift shop section too.

Our tasting was excellent. Loman was our steward and he was friendly, informative and fun to spend time with.

We look forward to going back when things are a bit more open.

Sagamore Distillery

By mrsw166 |

Sagamore Distillery tour was amazing! Wether you’re from out of town or a native Baltimorean, this tour is fun! Come learn about Maryland’s rich Rye history and the history of Sagamore! I loved tasting the variety of Rye whiskey and learning how those notes were achieved! We can’t wait to come back for Whiskey on the Water and other summer fun!

Its a Rye of a good time

By ewd0711 |

It you love whiskey this is the place to go in Baltimore area. The tour guide was energetic and loved explaining the process of what the distillery does to make their product. The area around it is growing and the water front was amazing.

Great whiskey and cool facilities!

By Kieran C |

Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. Nice gift/visitor shop to browse while waiting for the tour. Tasting was also top notch and the guide explained each pour in detail. Would definitely do it again with friends and recommend for anyone coming to the Baltimore area. As a Rye and Bourbon fan this is a must stop for those visiting Maryland!

Fun tour

By Baltimore Traveler |

Great tour - guide was fun and informative. Learned about history and the process of making Sagamore Rye.

Good night out

By MrsRaimiH |

A fun experience. Despite covid, they have managed to create a good time. Informative and engaging. Not super into whiskey and yet I was able to find something I really enjoyed

Great Tour! ** be aware of construction!

By Kimberly S |

This tour was amazing! Very knowledgeable and so much fun!
The only thing that was not great is getting there! Literally 50% of ppl get lost because the gps takes you to the back of the place which is a new development construction area. Best thing to do is get directions to “Baltimore Sun” then follow signs to distillery.

We ended up being 5 minutes late instead of 10 mins early but they waited for us and were very accommodating.

MUST DO in Baltimore

By Jessica M |

My fiancĂ© and I did the old fashion/Manhattan cocktail class and it was an amazing experience! It started with the friendly welcoming in their gift shop, the young lady working at that time was very attentive and caring to us. Our cocktail “teacher” was very entertaining, knowledgeable and personable, and the cocktails that we made were absolute đŸ”„ An absolute MUST DO in Baltimore.

Maryland Rye Whiskey Lesson

By Monica H |

We enjoyed learning about the history of Maryland Rye Whiskey. Take the tour. Great venue with nice indoor and outdoor views.

Must visit if you like Whiskey

By nay3sons |

Staff was very friendly and the spirots taste great. Tour was very informative and I would definitely visit the distillery again.

Great time!

By Marc |

Had a good time. Host was great and knew what she was talking about. We will be doing this again just because.

Must Do for Baltimore Visitors

I don’t know about a ‘favorite’ part - it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I learned things about Maryland, distilling, and tasting that I had not known. Mia (I am sure I am getting her name wrong) was an excellent tour guide and very personable. I strongly recommend visitors to Baltimore put Sagamore as one of a ‘must see - and taste’ place! Well done!

Private tasting and cocktail class

By James E |

Private tasting and cocktail class was amazing. We had 20 of our close friends enjoy a private cocktail class lead by Justin and Nicole.

Every person, and I mean everyone, that joined us for the cocktail class sent me messages saying how much fun they had in the class, how they learned something new, how great the staff was, and how much they enjoyed the drinks. :-)

Some, that joined after the class, commented how beautiful the Sagamore facility is, how nice the area was, and how they are looking forward to coming down again for a tour, music, and dinner.

Please accept our sincere thank you to Justin, Nicole, Ken, Lo, and you for your professionalism and hospitality for our event.

Amazing experience!!
