I’ve considered picking this up for some time, but was able to get a sample, and glad I did before buying. What I like about the Seagrass is that I can taste a bit of all of the secondary finishes, and they all play well with the rye. In this one, it seems like the balance is off, as the rum influence overpowers the other finishes. I have played with adding a little rum to some of my whiskies as a poor man’s take on rum-finished whiskey, and I’ve noticed that it takes very little to significantly change the experience. I have enjoyed this sample, but I don’t think I’ll be a buyer.

Thanks for the review. This one was on my list, but I avoided since I thought the Angel Envy Rye finished in rum was way too sugary and rum dominated. Looks like this one is also a skip.
