    Double Oaked is the best sagamore product in my opinion. Lucky enough to live in Md and it’s everywhere. My criticism of them is pricing.

    Just saw your latest video and had to find your Sagamore Dbl Oaked video. This stuff is soooo good. It’s shop class, burnt pine board on the nose. When you get a 2x4 that you need a little more time to cut though and you burn the wood. That’s the nose with some sweetness. This was one of my first “must have at all times” bottles. So glad I found this review.

    Perfect proof changes over the course of the evening. I like to start around 90, and then by drink 2 or 3 I can handle up to 120-130 proof. You have to acclimate the taste buds with a lower proof and work your way up.

    This Sagamore double oak is harder to find up here in northern IL. I've had my eye out for it as I've heard good things. I have a Sagamore Barrel Select store pick that is really good. Another great vid!

    • @stuffandwhiskey

      For the longest time it felt like Sagamore wasn’t distributed here. Then it finally came in at the larger stores in the area. Here’s to hoping they continue to expand distribution.

  • @mgrego2
    @mgrego2 2 года назад +1

    I've not had a bad Sagamore yet but Double Oak is the clear winner among their standard products. It is fantastic (and luckily, pretty easy to get in Michigan). $60 is a deal.

    • @stuffandwhiskey

      We do plan to try more of their offerings but this is a definite winner and would be hard to beat for the money in our book.

    Love the reaction to the Sagamore D.O. Rye. Glad you pointed me to this video after my initial comment on the other video.
    Similar experience for me. Not typically a huge rye fan, but I'd heard good things so I grabbed a bottle when I found it in a store I don't typically visit because I'd never seen it on the shelf.
    Big, big fan. Found a bottle of Rare Breed Rye today. Ready to get into that for the first time.
    Cheers to you both.

    I just picked up this bottle for 55 (no tax) almost all because of Erin's reaction in this video! 😂 Typically, I don't like ryes (or at least I thought I didn't) but Sagamore is really winning me over with some of the samples I received of their expressions.

    No Sagamore distribution in my area BUT my good friend in Virginia just recently sent me a bottle of the Double Oak. A fantastic rye, my current favorite in the category. Excellent sipper, but also makes a great old fashioned. Looking forward to some blind comparisons.

  • @WhiskyForBeginners
    @WhiskyForBeginners Год назад

    I started out with 80 proof stuff, because I only knew two names - Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's. But experimentation naturally brought me to stronger whisky, and I got to the point where I preferred 90 proof and above. These days I'm getting closer and closer to deciding that as a rule, I want 100 proof or better. There are exceptions, of course - Woodford Reserve, for instance, or Elijah Craig, or Bulleit.
    I'm really inexperienced with rye, but I'm experimenting. Right now I have Bulleit rye and regular Sagamore Spirit, and I find that while I prefer bourbon, they're pretty good. But Sagamore gets their juice from MGP - at least my bottle says it was distilled in Indiana.

  • @russd2888

    I have been a fan of Sagamore for some time now. Went on a bit of a purchase bender when I started with them and picked up the Cask Strength, Cask Strength Barrel pick, and this Double Oaked. Enjoy them all, but of the three the Double Oaked is my favorite. Great bottle\label designs too. I enjoyed seeing your reactions to it. It is always fun to see you two get really excited about something. Keep up the great content...cheers :)

    • @stuffandwhiskey
      @stuffandwhiskey  2 года назад

      Thanks so much, Russ! The blind tasting format isn't always conducive to us getting excited about things, because so many pours come across pretty standard when you remove the influence of the brand and label, but it definitely is a ton of fun when something surprises us. And as a big bonus, the bottle and label on Sagamore is definitely great as you mentioned.

You’re right that proof doesn’t always matter but for me personally I think the higher proof or cast strength options of certain brands do tend to be better especially this one!! Cheers guys and keep up the great work🥃🥃

    The Sagamore DO hit my market on I think Tuesday, and I searched for some reviews, and this popped up with a couple of equally positive reviews. As it wasn't obtainable on first view, my main takeaway was originally being led to the All Things Whiskey Wild Turkey episode....and the John Rich house surprise. On bottle crack, I agree with all reviews, but even look forward to it opening up. On proof, I look at my stuff, and other than this new bottle, my 1910, and a Buffalo Trace pick, and 100 proof seems to be my floor, but as the lady in big bourbon news yesterday, Jackie Zykan, was saying in a podcast in the development of 1910 (she picked the 93 proof), that 93 was the right, best-tasting proof for the bottle.

    • @stuffandwhiskey
      @stuffandwhiskey  2 года назад +1

      Great points as per the usual David! We’re with you on 100 pretty much being there floor, but a well crafted product is a well crafted product regardless of the proof point. Sagamore Rye Double Oak and 1910 are two perfect examples!

    I've pretty much written off anything below 90 proof and really prefer 100 and up.

    • @stuffandwhiskey
      @stuffandwhiskey  2 года назад

      We're not far off from that same basic stance, but we do get surprised fairly often (especially with international whiskeys). In American whiskey we've been quite surprised by the flavor in this Sagamore and in 1910, and on the more allocated end we've been really impressed with the 1792 Aged 12 Years and the Wild Turkey Cornerstone 17 Year samples we've been fortunate enough to try.

  • @willfrix1455

    Sagamore Double Oak is fantastic. Sag is owned by Kevin Plank of Under Armour fame, so it is not a “fly by night” operation. Also, Maryland ryes are traditionally on the sweet side while Pennsylvania ryes tend to be spicy.

    @jamesnorwood4084 2 года назад

    Maryland was in olden times big on rye grain production and that agriculture went down. I understand that Sagamore procures it's rye grain currently from Maryland where obviously the state's rye history has been pleasantly resurrected. So being a non sourced product from one distillery in the literal sense of that word, lends cred to the brand in my view. I have only bought their entry bottle thus far and I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. Next stop for me ... double oaked. I need me some pancakes & maple syrup ... doncha know?

    • @stuffandwhiskey
      @stuffandwhiskey  2 года назад

  • @bo_mccroskey
    @bo_mccroskey 2 года назад

    I really want to try the Sagamore Spirit DO. I've had the bottle in my hands a few times, and keep putting it back. I wanted to taste it first because I haven't liked other double oaked products in the past, such as Woodford Reserve and to an extent 1910, although 1910 doesn't completely turn me off. Might have to finally just pull the trigger on it. Plus, it's a damn good looking bottle.

    I’m in Maryland. We’re lucky to have Sagamore everywhere up here. The cask strength is legit fantastic. It’s up there with Proof and Wood Senator and others like that. This is still likely MGP rye mashbills blend tho. Sagamore is harvesting their own grains and distilling on location but just released their first bottled in bond rye. The double Oaked and cask strength are still likely sourced. I just tried a rum finished Sagamore and it’s really good. Would prefer it at a higher proof but the flavor is really good.

They might be adding some of that into their regular release blends now. Hopefully they can keep a similar flavour profile in all of their releases. The Maryland raised grains will probably bring some subtle differences tho. Maybe it’ll end up being even better.

    You’re so very right, the proof is in the pudding (flavor). Higher proofs do tend to offer more flavor, but are not guaranteed to do so. Have you done a head to head matchup with Widow Jane 10 year vs Russell’s Reserve 10 year? If you haven’t, drop by Clarksville TN, look me up, and you can have samples from my stash. We could also meet at the liquor store, and I could buy you a bottle of each.

      According to my alcoholic family, breakfast is the most important drink of the day. But in all seriousness, the only time I'll try a spirit in the morning is when tasting a spirit new to me. The palate is a lot cleaner in the morning and you can often pick up a lot of aromas and flavors you couldn't discern after a day of eating spiced foods and drinking strong flavored drinks like cola, tea and coffee.
