The limited edition bottling is now available at The Sagamore Spirit Distillery and select Baltimore, Maryland retailers
BALTIMORE, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sagamore Spirit, the leading and award-winning Maryland rye distillery, is proud to announce the release of their limited edition Baltimore Ravens Festivus Maximus Small Batch Rye Whiskey. This release marks the third edition within the Baltimore Ravens commemorative bottle series, since Sagamore first partnered with the football team back in 2023.
It has been 25 years since the Baltimore Ravens captured their first World Championship, delivering a dominant performance in the title game that was superstitiously referred to as Festivus Maximus by players and coaches alike. This commemorative release honors that unforgettable night in Tampa, FL and the relentless spirit that fueled the Bullies of Baltimore to victory. Each bottle is proudly emblazoned with the Baltimore Ravens logo.
This 100% Maryland-made small batch rye whiskey is aged in new charred oak barrels and has an ABV of 46.5%. It contains notes of classic baking spices paired with fruit notes, including golden delicious apples, giving way to vibrant sweet notes of caramel, honey, and brown sugar. Warm spice & honey linger through a mild oak and faded fruit finish.
"All of us at Sagamore Spirit are proud to honor the Baltimore Ravens 1st World Championship with this commemorative bottle of our award winning small batch rye whiskey," says Ryan Norwood, VP of Operations at Sagamore Spirit. "We are excited about our continued partnership with the team and hope both whiskey and football fans enjoy this new limited edition release."
