Italian Multinational Company Illva Saronno Holding S.p.A. has purchased a majority stake of the Baltimore, Maryland-based rye whiskey distillery Sagamore Spirit, the companies announced Thursday.
Sagamore Spirit is a well-regarded rye whiskey brand, having won awards including a Double Gold Medal at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a World’s Best Rye Whiskey Award at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. We’re particularly fond of Sagamore Spirit Cask Strength Rye Whiskey.
