BATCH - 12AJ BOTTLE - 0825 BY - LT NEAT NOSE - For the proof, I’m surprised this is so full on the nose. I would expect the nose to be more subtle, but it’s full and enveloping. I get notes of cinnamon, honey, and caramel. PALATE - Initially, there is a nice sweetness on the palate reminiscent of vanilla, caramel, and honey. As it develops on the palate, it transitions to a nice spice with some cinnamon and oak tannins. The oak tannins are noticeable, but not overpowering. The mouthfeel is thin and light. FINISH - Short and slightly spicy (rye spice) BUY? - I’m glad I picked this up, so I would say give it a try. BUY AGAIN?? - I’d buy this again as a daily especially at the price point. However, with how great this Rye is at 83 proof, I can’t imagine how great it would be at Cask Strength. My next purchase of Sagamore Spirits will for sure be their cask strength.
