The Sagamore Spirit Distillery reflects two distinct pieces of American history: whiskey making and the noted Sagamore Farm. The distillery draws its distinctive red metal roofs, stone facades, and crisp gabled buildings from Sagamore Farm’s vernacular architecture, and particularly from the historic 1909 Spring House. Located on a five-acre waterfront site, the campus is comprised of three distinct buildings: a distillery dedicated to making whiskey, a processing building with areas for bottling, barreling, tasting, and an immersive visitor experience, and a waterfront restaurant building with views of the distillery and a grassy park.

The whiskey-making process is represented in the building’s details as slatted sunshades and reclaimed wood recall the barrels where the whiskey is aged. Limestone, a local material which the water of Sagamore Farm runs on, is used throughout the project. The on-campus water tower holds spring water transported from the nearby farm. This mineral-rich water is used in the whiskey production, reinforcing the connection between locality, product, and built environment.
