Sagamore Rye Whiskey is relatively sweet, with notes of nutmeg and vanilla bean, and made with water the company drives in from its limestone spring at Sagamore Farm. Some has been aging in 53-gallon oak barrels since 2012.

Sagamore will provide tastings and sales alongside more than a dozen other distillers of whiskey and other spirits. As well, the Whiskey Rebellion Fest will feature craft beer tastings, alongside the whiskey, rum, vodka and brandy samplings.

Guests at the Fest will also enjoy continuous servings of canapes by Good Carma catering, an open beer and wine bar, the opportunity to mingle with a nationally-renown George Washington ‘living biographer’ and other reenactors including George’s wife. Tickets also include the opportunity to play Colonial games, win one or more unique luxury items in the silent auction, photos with President Washington, and a goody bag to take home. Sober rides are available.
