This was the first time I tried Sagamore Spirt Straight Rye. I concur with most of the Distiller Pro’s Review and Tasting Notes.
My overall impression would be summed up as follows: “soft & watery-smooth”; especially for a Rye (I’m use to the strength-statements of many of the Kentucky Ryes!).
It was an enjoyable drink, with NO “Kentucky Hug” after-effects.
If you have someone (or yourself) who would like to “wade in” to the complexities and world of Rye bourbons & whiskeys, I suggest this one as a well represented “Entry” into it!
Overall, it’s like a blind date where you conclude you may not want to date him/her again, but you had a nice time and truly enjoyed the conversations!!

Flaviar sample box “Ryenaissance” July, 2022 Sample B
Pour/color: a dense liquid that is medium gold in color
Nose: Smells like fried pickles!! Fantastic, deep, and quite complex. Dark fruits, some cinnamon, and some floral notes, but also grass, hay, and rye pepper
First taste: a buttery, butterscotchy rye with dry oak and tannins
Lingering: not much lingering flavor, tannins dominate
Finish: smooth, but dull and not terribly complex
Score: 3 (second best of the three)
