Sagamore Spirit Rye is now majority-owned by Illva Saronno Holding S.p.A., an Italian company. This recent acquisition came as a surprise to many, including myself, as Sagamore Spirit has been gaining recognition and impressing enthusiasts with its high-quality rye whiskey.
I first discovered Sagamore Spirit Rye a few years ago and was immediately impressed by its smoothness, complexity, and distinctive flavor profile. As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the opportunity to taste a wide range of spirits, and Sagamore Spirit Rye stood out to me as a standout rye brand.
The news of Illva Saronno Holding's majority stake purchase in Sagamore Spirit raises some interesting questions about the future direction of the brand. Illva Saronno Holding is known for its ownership of other well-known spirits brands, such as Disaronno and Tia Maria. This suggests that they have a strong presence and experience in the industry, which could potentially benefit Sagamore Spirit in terms of distribution, marketing, and overall brand development.
While this acquisition may bring about some changes for Sagamore Spirit, it is important to remember that the brand's commitment to producing high-quality rye whiskey should remain unchanged. It will be interesting to see how Illva Saronno Holding's involvement will impact Sagamore Spirit's growth and expansion in the market.
The majority stake purchase by Illva Saronno Holding S.p.A. in Sagamore Spirit Rye is a significant development for the brand. As someone who has been impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of Sagamore Spirit's rye whiskey, I am curious to see how this new partnership will unfold and what it means for the brand's future.
