Move over Midwest. Maryland rye is back, reminding us of the real roots of American whiskey. Baltimore may not be the first place you think of when it comes to whiskey, but it should be. Behind the blue crabs and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay that defines the state of Maryland is an unsung whiskey-making history, and Sagamore Spirit has sailed in to sing it, or better yet, pour it in a glass.

There are a few clues that can indicate whether a bar is worth sitting down at or it’s best to move on. Is the bar top clean, or is it littered with trash? Is the staff engaged with guests, or are the customers being ignored? Do they know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness ? But sometimes, all it takes is seeing a specific bottle sitting on a shelf to let you know if a place is legit.

Bottled cocktails are inundating the market, and outside of the Margarita, none seems quite as popular to premix as the Old Fashioned. It makes sense: It’s one of few popular cocktails with ingredients that don’t spoil, so it should functionally last forever in the bottle, even after opening. The next producer to try its hand at the bottled Old Fashioned is Michigan’s Traverse City , which makes some surprisingly good whiskey up north.

American whiskey is in a weird place. Writing this feature in 2024, I’m tempted to recycle a similar piece I did on craft beer circa 2017. It’s not uncommon to say that the whiskey industry is five to seven years behind craft beer in terms of trends. Some facts today do echo what the brewers faced when things started turning south for their business.

How Does Lochlea Cask Strength Batch 2 Compare To Other Cask Strength Whiskies? Given the youthfulness of both the whisky and the distillery, it wouldn’t be truly fair to compare Lochlea to some of the big hitters of Glenfarclas 105 or Aberlour A’bunadh. But it does hold its own unique position in the whisky world as a very available and almost standalone cask-strength whisky from the Lowlands.
