Bill thanks for the review. I got one of these for 64 doll hairs after tax! Best value whiskey I’ve ever bought!

[@bourbonbill]

Wow great price best I’ve heard congrats

[@billybruticus4719]

Calling out Nashville barrell co for their pricing lol. I love it. Peerless is also a bit on the high side for me

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I have to it’s ridiculous. I’ll say peerless is high yes but at least it’s their own distillate they are not buying the same stuff and just charging more like NBC

[@geno816]

Yeah peerless is way too high

[@bourbonbill]

@@geno816I got my last double oak bourbon for 86 bucks in NJ though so that’s not too bad

Happily subscribing since you’re the first person on the Tube to review the 9yr. Sagamore lovers unite! Cheers my man!

[@bourbonbill]

Cheers man thanks appreciate it! Love me some sagamore

[@FiveStarMan5]

I always appreciate your enthusiasm in your content, and how amped up it gets for a product you REALLY like. I have never been able to get a Sagamore 8 year rye, so I am very happy I got two of these bottles before they're all gone. Cheers!

[@bourbonbill]

Haha thanks and you scored man glad you got them. They are doing a 10yr next year as well

[@FiveStarMan5]

@@bourbonbill two different whiskies, but which of the two do you think you enjoy more: Sagamore 9 year or Kings county barrel strength batch 18?

[@bourbonbill]

@@FiveStarMan5whew tough question I would say sagamore 9 just that’s what I would reach for more but way different flavor profiles

[@thomasgallagher1945]

Bourbon Bill --- Don't hold back back on how you REALLY feel about this bottle! 🤪

[@bourbonbill]

I really had to contain myself

[@romesy1]

Just picked one up yesterday at the local store for ~100. Not a huge rye drinker, but this is amazing stuff. Thanks for the review!

[@bourbonbill]

Awesome pickup it will be your gateway to the land of rye

Picked up a Sagamore 9 today while on a trip to TX. Looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@bourbonbill]

Oh man if you like a fruity flavor bomb rye you will love it

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Cool. My local Total Wine got this in for $73. I’ll try to get there asap to score one. Thanks for the honest and fun review. After a couple of months does it still taste good?

[@bourbonbill]

It’s still one of the best ryes released in 2024 only gotten better with air

[@holdenmullaney1081]

What a historical day for Bourbon Bill. Sagamore King

[@bourbonbill]

Haha they just need to make that a paid position for me

Nice review BB…Ambassador of Sagamore Spirit. 🥃

[@bourbonbill]

I like that title we just need them to give me some paperwork with that on now haha

[@msutton01]

Glad I could help BB!

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks again Mike!

[@jeremybamgbade]

Sagamore produces the best Ryes. Probably my favorite distillery.

[@bourbonbill]

Absolutely agree great product with great value

[@spenceraaltonen]

Very excited for this. I bought so many of the last 8 year batch... Such a killer bottle

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah the 8yr was amazing and I now prefer the 9 it’s such a massive fruit and flavor bomb

[@The_Profezor]

Damn, getting this review out quickly between dad and caretaker duties! And before Rita's plague knocks out your "smart nostrils." Lol. Phenomenal review and comparisons. For the sake of my wallet, I was hoping you would say that this was Sagamore's first attempt at aged hand sanitizer. But sadly, this sounds delicious and right up my alley. Cheers.

[@bourbonbill]

Haha absolutely needed to get it in before I got sick as well. And yeah this one is not to be missed if you are a sagamore or a rye fan

[@WhiskeyAmadan_OH]

“Gushing,” review 😂 is the only thing I could come up with. Cheers buddy 🥃🥃🥃

[@bourbonbill]

Haha that’s a good way to describe it

[@Bergkampgunner]

Expectations are ridiculously high on this for me now. Can’t wait to see one

[@bourbonbill]

It really surpassed my expectations

[@jamesstreet1144]

It seems that Sagamore can do no wrong. This one sounds fantastic as I love the 8 year. I did get your package shipped today, watch for it.

[@bourbonbill]

I got a 9 for you don’t worry! And thanks sir will keep an eye out for it

[@JamesFarleyMovetoTennessee]

Just picked up the 9. 8 year is my favorite rye I’ve ever had so I cant wait to crack the 9

[@bourbonbill]

You are in for a treat! Enjoy it

[@3800fanatic]

Great review been waiting for someone to review this I'll be definitely picking one up

[@bourbonbill]

You are welcome and it should go down as one of the best ryes in 2024

[@Zordy21]

The man doesn’t lie, definitely a must buy

[@bourbonbill]

One of the best ryes in existence in 2024

[@jcockfie]

12:48 Saddle up boys, it’s about to be a bumpy ride… to flavor town. 😂

[@bourbonbill]

And it was a magical bumpy ride lol

[@AmishFury]

Snagged for $70. Super great value for the money. Super delicious

[@bourbonbill]

Great price man and yeah it’s super delicious it’s gotten even better as it’s been opening up that’s hard to believe

[@tomwelsh3735]

Cheers 8yr rocked glad to hear 9yr is up a notch!

[@bourbonbill]

Yes it’s always nice when the sequel lives up to and surpasses the original

[@Jpwilson1984]

It's not a new Sagamore Monster Bottle Release without Bourbon Bill's thoughts. Just cracked this and it's so, so good. I'm not ready to declare it blows the 8 year away, but that's more to do with the fact they're BOTH absolute stone cold classics. Maybe with time, I'll notice a gulf between the two, but part of me hopes I dont... they're both different enough and such high quality. Keep up spreading the Sagamore gospel.

[@bourbonbill]

Haha at first crack I think the 9 is barely better with air in the bottle it’s undeniable how each the depth of fruit is on the 9

[@MaryS-go8dl]

Fantastic review!

[@bourbonbill]

Thank you kindly!

[@vulpixel]

Sorry about the late comment. I’m looking for my first rye. Most places seemed to lead me to the jack daniels sbbp rye. But now I’m seaming a lot about this sag 9 rye. Your review makes it sound great! But do you know if it outperforms the (cheaper) jdsbbp rye?

[@bourbonbill]

Hey no such thing as late comments here I get comments years later lol. If you are new to ryes I suggest sagamore double oak it’s not limited and was my gateway. Sagamore 9 is exceptional for what it does with fruitiness and its other flavors. It’s limited and well worth its price. If you like high proof offerings then JDBP rye is probably the best value and definitely a bourbon drinkers rye

[@vulpixel]

@ thanks for the explanation! I’m a bourbon drinker but I tried barrel seagrass (which I believe isn’t your typical rye profile), but it got me looking because of how much I enjoyed it. But I also like herbal notes (mint, sasparilla, licorice), so I think ryes might be great for me too. It’s just a big world of options!

[@bourbonbill]

@@vulpixelyeah seagrass is good definitely go with sagamore double oak then it’s finished to you would like any of the sagamore finished ryes if you like seagrass. That being said JDBPRye is a great one to pick up and then try and get an Old Overholt 11yr cask strength that’s three widely different ryes but all phenomenal

[@sorryhungry729]

I finished off my 8 year last night…Looking forward to the 9 year

[@bourbonbill]

Perfect timing

[@993C2S]

Great review.

Haha I’ll have to consider it. And we will always do the sagamore videos

[@keithpetersen560]

I'll be looking out for these.

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

All well and good but you haven't tried Beyonce's new whiskey SirDavis. 😁 SirDavis is also MGP but sherry finished, $90. I was surprised to see that *Jason Mash* just did SirDavis. (Previously, most of the "reviews" I've seen have been done by people who don't normally drink brown liquor.) I learned that Beyonce made SirDavis to honor her great-grandfather who was a moonshiner. Says so right on the label. 😁

[@bourbonbill]

Haha no I haven’t I’m not buying a bottle lol. Jason also said it wasn’t for whiskey drinkers really. If someone sends me a sample I’ll review it

[@forlornHope]

Its fantastic one of if not the best rye this year

[@AmishFury]

You know I'm off Friday and was running to MD.. I might need to do a quick stop there. Do you know if it was plenty or will sell out in days?

[@bourbonbill]

So this is a wider release like the 8yr. So since stores got this I don’t know how much the distillery has but you should be okay waiting until Friday but best bet is to call the distillery and ask if they have plenty they are usually helpful

[@AmishFury]

@@bourbonbill Will do. Heading to Saubel's first to score some good deals first. Wonder if they have it. They have killer prices on Sagamore.

[@devinmatteson]

The only complaint I have with Sagamore 9 is that it leaves me wanting a bit more spice\intensity. Everything else about it is top tier imo

[@bourbonbill]

See I would say it has a quite intense flavor but I get that it’s not spicey per say I can see where your coming from it’s not a spicy rye but it does pack a lot of flavor intensity to me

[@wisgisipper6890]

So this released around PA?

[@bourbonbill]

As in south across the border yes don’t think the 8 ever came to Pa so don’t know if the 9 will

@@bourbonbill That's a bummer

I grabbed just south in MD for $70. 50 minutes from me.

[@jefflawson1876]

No comparison to the Old Overholt 10 yr cask strength? I'm disappointed Bourbon Bill. Just kidding, but loved Sag 8 and loved Old Overholt 10yr. This is a must get!

[@bourbonbill]

Haha you calm it down sir I’m planning on that but OO11 is dropping so that’s the more current 2024 comparison. I’m going to likely do an age rye flight but it’s getting close to rye of the year time here in. Couple more months and why spoil how that is going to turn out

[@FPHE8956]

How would you rank the other 8 yr batch compared to the 9?

[@bourbonbill]

8yr batch 2 was superior to batch 1. The bottle in the video was batch 2 of the 8yr so I would say the 9 is easily better than both and I loved the 8yrs

[@FPHE8956]

@@bourbonbill just cracked the 9. Nose , pállate, viscous. This drinks way to easy, the fruit , spice and oak all blend together oh so well. The oak and orange zest pair so well.

I also watch adhd whiskey. I bought the zbiotics because of Matt. Trust me it doesn’t work. It’s a scam.

I’ve used it it seems to work for me. You still have to drink water and such or else your still going to be screwed the next day
