Three Regional Ryes Just Landed — Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland

Today's Cut covers three regional rye flagships landing at retail the same Tuesday — Dad's Hat Pennsylvania Bottled-in-Bond ($59.99), Kings County Empire Rye 2026 ($79.99), and Sagamore Spirit Reserve Cask Strength ($74.99) — three distinct mashbill traditions across Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland. First Sip explains Bottled-in-Bond — the 1897 federal designation behind the Dad's Hat label and one of the cleanest value signals on a whiskey shelf. Today's Cut Spotlight is Sagamore Reserve Cask Strength at $74.99 — the cleanest accessible entry to the Maryland 52-39-9 mashbill profile most American whiskey drinkers have never actually tasted.
