"We want our friends and neighbors in Ellicott City to know that we stand with them. We've witnessed their strength and perseverance firsthand, and wanted to help the best way we know how, and help build the future that everyone who lives and works there deserves," said Brian Treacy, President of Sagamore Spirit.

"We are truly humbled by this and the many acts of generosity from all across the country that are helping with the relief and recovery of our beloved town."

Cognac Finish is the latest release from the award-winning distillery that is restoring Maryland's rightful place in America's rich whiskey heritage. It is distinctly expressive at 105-proof, revealing notes of spice, honey, almond, and vanilla from its time spent in fine French cognac barrels.

Priced at $70 per bottle, Cognac Finish will be available for purchase beginning July 10 at its waterfront distillery's gift shop at 301 E. Cromwell St. in Baltimore. For hours of operation, directions and other information, please visit www.SagamoreSpirit.com.
