I have been to sagamore multiple times and have always enjoyed my time there! The staff members are so welcoming and helpful! I have taken the cocktail mixing classes (twice) and they are amazing! I've also just been there for a drink and the variety of drinks they have is perfect for all taste pallets. Highly recommend making a stop here if you're in the area!

I love coming to Sagamore, they are always friendly and I learn something new. My friends and I attended the brunch cocktail class for my birthday and we had a blast. The instructor was great and we really enjoyed the two brunch cocktails we made, they had a fall vibe to them and gave me some ideas to make at home.

Having Sagamore's distillery nearby is very fun! I recently came back again for their 8 year anniversary and took their mixology class with a friend. It was my 2nd time taking a class. The first time I had also gotten a tour which was neat. Their store inside is clean and nicely laid out. The staff are friendly and personable. It was fun to take the mixology class again. We made 2 delicious cocktails and our mixologist was great. It's a fun activity to do on your own or with friends. I would definitely keep coming back to take more classes!

Had a great one hour tour of the distillery for 22 bucks on a Friday at noon in mid May. The four of us ended up getting a private tour as there were no other patrons. Our guide, Leah was terrific. She really knew her stuff and I asked her a lot of questions about their operation...she explained that the guides all have to be trained by actually doing the various jobs they have on site. Leah started our tour off with a small, refreshing rye cocktail! Nice touch. Unfortunately, we missed their bottling shift by about 10 minutes and I really wish we'd seen the line running. The tour finished off in their tasting room and we.were able to taste 4 different ryes, including their high end Manhattan finish. My favorite was the double oaked, through the Small Batvh was also tasty.

I have been wanting to go here since they opened. Glad we made it. It was a surprise visit for a special friend, and they enjoyed it. Leah our tour guide was amazing. The whole ambiance, the setting, the drinks, the tasting and the friendly and professional staff made the visit worth it. Definitely going back.

Time to eat! Salmon and wings!

Such a great experience! We kicked things off with the cocktail making class, perfect for a date night or fun outing with friends. The instructor was full of energy and made the whole thing super engaging. After the class, we headed to the restaurant and took advantage of the beautiful weather by sitting at the outdoor bar. The food was delicious, and the bartender was incredibly knowledgeable about both the drinks and food menu. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!

So . . . long story short . . . or maybe still long. I primarily consider myself a craft beer/mexzal drinker but lately I've been on a whiskey kick (primarily bourbon). Earlier in the year I toured a few distilleries in Kentucky and oh boy were my eyes opened. I found the history fascinating and even visited a bourbon museum in Bardstown. I purchased several bottles on this trip and a few more since. It turns out that I enjoy the taste . . . unlike how I remember it from the cheap whiskey shots I tried in my 20s. Last week, out of curiosity, I checked Yelp for nearby whiskey distilleries and was surprised to find Sagamore Spirit a mere 24 minutes from my house. There are a couple smaller places around that I'll check out but Sagamore called out to me this day. Following Maryland history and tradition Sagamore is a rye whiskey distillery. Upon arrival for my tour I was handed one of their premixed cocktails . . . Fantastic! I took a noon tour on a cold snowy Sunday and was the only one on the tour, which was great (but I'm sure unusual). My tour guide Paige (pretty sure her name was Paige) was great. I'm not going into too much detail here so I don't give you any misremembered facts. I learned all about the history of Maryland distilleries and their distilling process. Some of the equipment had cute "easy to remember names." (I want to say Kettle Dee and Kettle Dumb . . . . please don't quote me on that.) Then we got to the tasting. All were good. Rye is a little spicier to me than bourbon so I was surprised that my favorite was the cask strength. I definitely picked up a bottle at the gift shop (along with other things) before I left. This should definitely be on your "Things You Must Do In Baltimore" list! I know it's on my "Things To Do Again" list.

We stopped in to Sagamore after our lunch next door. The building is aesthetically beautiful and shows of the gift items and liquor for sale. The gentleman at the desk was very helpful in explaining their tours and offerings. I look forward to returning for a longer visit and tour.

Great local distillery with smooth Rye Whiskey
Deborah B.

The distillers take pride in their product, especially now that they are Maryland Made. Many of the grains are grown in Maryland, the water is from Maryland, and of course distilled in Maryland. Their unique flavors are from the Maryland Oak barrels and stirring them in Maryland Rickhouses. If you haven't been in the past year, the area has more options, dining and an out door bar are next door. Bar 1909 pours flights, cocktails and make a fabulous Manhattan. Take the time to do the tour,

Maple & whiskey cold brew!
Kelci S.

Incredible experience! My bestfriend & sister decided to check out the brunch cocktail class at 10am. The tickets were a reasonable $30 for two drinks. Parking was free for about two hours, which was just enough time for us to eat and grab brunch next door at Rye Street. The location is absolutely stunning with waterfront views. Mike, our whiskey professor was amazing. We were half sleep arriving at 10am, and he made sure to keep us engaged throughout the experience. He was able to thoroughly explain all of the history, creation, and distilling process of Sagamore's rye whiskey. Class was hands on, and were were able to add as much or as little ingredients as we desired. The "seelbach" whiskey mimosa was fantastic, and I loved that we used non alcoholic champagne so we wouldn't lose the whiskey finish. The whiskey cold brew was actually my favorite. The maple syrup was made in house, and it was interesting that we added orange liqueur to pull out those whiskey notes. After class, we were able to take our drinks down to the outdoor patio to enjoy the views of the Baltimore harbor. This was such a fun experience that I highly recommend!

I do not like rye but I LOVE this place!!!! If you are in the area, definitely try it. The melon ryelada is the most refreshing drink I've had all summer. Don't be turned off my cantaloupe syrup. I do NOT like cantaloupe but it wasn't over powering. And there's cute outdoor seating on the water.

I've toured many, many distilleries over the years. I enjoyed the tour at Sagamore Spirits. While it was not as detailed as many I have seen, it thoroughly covered all the aspects of whiskey making. The tasting room was well set up and I really enjoyed the tasting experience.

Marcus D.

Amazing facility! Greeted as soon as we walked into the distillery by very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wanted to try the 9-year and the cask strength ryes, so went to the bar and the bartender was super and explained all of the tasting notes. Great experience! Bought a new ball cap and the 9-year rye. The grounds are amazing and looks like the place to go in warmer weather. If you want to try something new, try the 9-year. If you like rye it will probably blow you away.

We were allowed to go onto the roof of the factory and see the Baltimore skyline from right below the famous sign. From this day forward I will never purchase another bag of sugar that doesn't have the domino sugar label on it (or refil my domino container with the Walmart brand my essential sugar, because I learned it's the same sugar!)

The tour we took was $25 per person. Picking up the tickets I preordered was easy. With boarding, no one told us when it was time to board though we were sitting at the dock, but we saw a group going and went along with them. Seating on the boat included an upper deck to enjoy the air; my family preferred the lower deck which was booth style. We found a booth together easily. There were large windows to look outside, but the narration was prerecorded and kind of quiet. Occasionally a crew member would chime in. The narration was always pointing out things on the starboard side, so keep that in mind. The interior seemed kind of outdated overall and most of the other people on the tour were on the elderly side, so it might cater more towards that audience. Overall, this was an okay tour of the harbor. The price was fine for what it was, but I wouldn't personally choose to do this tour again. I know there are other options that might be better through the company, so only speaking from my experience with what I described.

We had a small group of four and visited Attman's, Isabella's brick oven, La Tavola, and Osteria Da Amedeo. Food tours are great way of seeing what local life is like and skipping to the front of the line to taste a variety of dishes. We saw historic sites like the Lloyd street synagogue, Corned beef row, the Carroll Mansion, Reginald F. Lewis museum, and birthplace of the Star spangled banner flag. It was about a 3.5 hour walking tour and there were intermittent breaks to eat in restaurants. Before this tour I had no idea there was a 'Little Italy' or a 'Corned beef row' and how much history these places had from the restaurants started by immigrants in the 1800s. It also makes a difference having an enthusiastic group and getting to know everyone. This tour is highly recommended.

Don't know how to brew - NO PROBLEM Don't Have the supplies and equipment to Brew - NO PROBLEM Don't mind waiting 2 weeks for you Beer to ferment - THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU! So as I said our company offered employees a Home Brew experience as one of the options for our summer event this year, you can choose from 2 types of beer to brew, then you wait and about a week before the event a big box off supplies and equipment arrives at your door. The day before the event you get an e-mail with a zoom meeting invite for the actual event, along with some instructions so you are ready when the class starts. Our Instructors were Mike and Kevin, they meeting started on time and while the is some downtime while the water boils and the grains steep Mike and Kevin kept things interesting with helpful hints and tips, Brewing history, the reasons why you are going what you are doing at a certain time, what happens when you do certain things, why those things are good, bad or necessary and what to expect in the next two weeks while you are waiting for your beer to finish. There were some questions from our group and Mike answered them all, he was very knowledgeable about beer and the process of making beer. While I don't think I will become a master brewer and take up brewing as a full time hobby I did very much enjoy the experience and found it very informative and educational . If you like beer, or even if you are not a huge fan (yes we had one in our group and he enjoyed the class as well) I would highly recommend trying this type of event at least once, just so you know a little more about beer. Based on my experience with this home brew event I would be very willing to attend one of City Brew Tours in person events when things open back up again. (And when I'm in a city they serve) Highly recommended just for the fun of it or if you want to try brewing but are afraid to go it alone the first time. 5 Stars for the event 10 stars for Mike and Kevin
