Tastes

Nose: Carmel, vanilla, brown sugar and hint of orange peal Palate: Carmel and vanilla bomb. Rye spices with sweet tobacco finish. Finish: long and lingers. Overall: this is a special combat medic bottle. Being a former airborne infantryman I got lots of love for “Docs”. All of that aside this is a fantastic rye. Tasty with a full body and all the edges are rounded off. Very high marks. Only issue is it’s 97 of 150 bottles. You’re just not going to get it again.

Nose: ethanol Palate: thin. Slight bourbon flavors Finish: short and thin again. This has to be a young pour. It’s non age stated so that’s my guess. Love the bottle though.

Nose: Carmel, brown sugar and vanilla Palate: honey, Carmel and a bit of tobacco Finish: barrel spice, long finish Overall: very good for the price point. I keep it on the shelf. It’s priced so well that mixing with it is a good option as well.

Nose: definitely the best part of the dram. Honey comb, vanilla, some earthy Texas funk, cinnamon. Fantastic nose Palate: maple syrup, brown sugar, tobacco and Texas funk and barrel spices. Finish: long lingering Hye Texas hug. Overall: it’s a decent pour. I’ve had some that are super cinnamon forward. This particular bottle is a total wine store pick and it’s at the high end of the rating for this bottle. Solid!

So many moons later I’ve come back to this. I remember it being good. Well it’s better than I remember. Nose: vanilla, Carmel, brown sugar, a bit of ethanol. Palate: all spice, vanilla and Carmel sweetness. A bit of orange zest. It’s damn tasty. Finish: rye spices that linger a bit. Overall: it’s a really good pour in beautiful packaging. Seriously that bottle is class

Nose: slight fruit. Apples and vanilla Palate: sweet boozy fruit up front. The middle is a vanilla bomb with the end being rye spices with a lingering slow building burn. Overall: this is a great pour. My first time ever have anything from sagamore. I have two other expressions my step son got me. If they are all this good I’m excited to try them

Nose: Carmel, oak, brown sugar and vanilla Palate: big flavors here. slight oak, barrel spice, toasted bread, dark sugars and Carmel and slight fruit zest. It’s really delicious. The finish is a long Kentucky hug with that 120 proof. Overall: the barrel the produce this particular set of bottle is outrageous. It’s a 5 for me. I’m not kidding it’s that good and dare I say this particular bottle is the best pour I’ve ever had.

Nose: baking spices, vanilla, Carmel Palate: barrel spice, dark fruit brown sugar Finish: nice long finish with some sweetness in the back. Overall: for me the EHT small batch is better. Single barrel is more viscous and mouth coating. It’s damn good. I did get this bottle at retail. I’ve become friends and spent hard earned money with a local shop and they rewarded me after some time with a very sought after bottle. It’s all about relationships. If you can find this bottle at retail count your blessings.

Light fruit, oak and slightly sweet with wine on the palate. It’s a good pour. I picked it up on a whim and I’m glad I did.

Nose: fruit sweetness, Carmel, light on the ethanol. Very bright nose. Palate: Granny Smith apples, vanilla, assorted dried fruits and some barrel spice. Finish: short and sweet but tasty as hell. Overall: this is a damn good pour of whiskey. It’s great.
