Sagamore Spirit Sherry Finish Rye

On the nose heavy dark rich apple, followed by sweet dark fruit. On the palate the dark apple flavor is first. Followed by the rye spice but more gentle than some ryes. Then the mint comes in and is still subtle no over powering. It feels like a perfect balance of the sherry finish but doesn’t outshine the rye.

This has a wonderful PX sherry profile on the nose of raisins, figs, sticky sweetness that showcases the Sagamore rye profile after letting it sit for a short while or some swirling in your glencairn. The palate is PX sherry in the beginning that transitions to a gentle rye towards the middle and end. This has to be my favorite finished rye whiskey. Definitely recommend.
