Sagamore Spirit Double Oak Rye

The coffee note others pull out of this is dead on. A lovely balance of chocolate, coffee, and subtle savory flavors that you expect from a rye and a double oaked whiskey.

Sagamore Spirit Double Oak Rye - NAS. Upon first nosing I get lots of raw, sweet oak followed by a (slightly sour) cherry cola note. As the whiskey opens up I get a very pronounced sweet apricot note that fills the glass. All aromas transfer to the palate with an added dose of baking spice on the front end. The fruit returns on the mid-palate and the apricot comes on strong during the finish along with a nice warmth that gradually fades. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars, as I’m not a big fan of apricot.
