Thanks to Jason as part of our little trading team, I got to sample this craft distillery. Craft distilleries are really a hit or miss. How do they stay in business while waiting for their own product to mature? Make gin? Source from others? Most do both, but it's rare to see one source from others and make something better ( like High West). These guys at Sagamore seemed to have taken the route of blending two different ryes, hoping to create a sum greater than the individual parts. It'll be interesting to see where these guys take their future products. For now, seems like this one has some ways to go. Nose is a bit artificial, almost like polish. Taste is young rye, thin and minty. It was interesting to try, but they have some ways to go before becoming the next High West, Wyoming Whiskey, or Westland.

No...I wouldn't either. Personally, I found the High West ryes really good. I did jump in the car for those...on a vacation to Utah, I made a detour to Park City to visit the distillery.
I’ve become a big fan of rye but 2 stars doesn’t have me jumping in the car to find this one.
