Sagamore Brewers Select Sierra Nevada 750ml

Sagamore Brewers Select Sierra Nevada 750ml Sagamore Spirit Brewer’s Select Sierra Nevada is a limited rye whiskey finished in barrels that held Sierra Nevada rye ale. The collaboration completed a full exchange: Sierra Nevada first matured its red rye ale in former Sagamore barrels, and Sagamore then used those beer-seasoned casks to finish rye whiskey. The release is bottled at 90 proof.

Tasting Notes

The rye base supplies pepper and baking spice, while the ale-barrel finish adds malt, toasted grain and subtle red-fruit or caramelized notes. It is a crossover release for drinkers interested in both craft beer and rye whiskey.

Food Pairings

Pair with smoked sausage, a pretzel with mustard, aged cheddar or malted-chocolate desserts. Beer-friendly foods make sense with the ale-cask finish.

How to Serve

Try it neat first, then with a few drops of water. It also suits a spirit-forward Manhattan where the malt and rye spice remain visible.
