Sagamore Spirit Distiller’s Select Manhattan Finish is the first release in the Baltimore-based company’s ‘Distiller’s Select’ series. The expression, which will be available in an unspecified number of units, comprises a blend of straight rye whiskey that has been finished in cherry brandy, vermouth and bitters barrels.

“The [Manhattan Finish] process started with breaking down the flavours of a Manhattan cocktail and then building them back up again,” said Sagamore president Brian Treacy. “Our distilling team spent weeks testing different combinations of our straight rye whiskey … to find just the right blend.”

In April, Sagamore teamed up with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co to launch Select Rye Ale Barrel Finish, a rye whiskey aged in both whiskey and beer casks.
