Neat. Neck Pour. Bourbon Junkies Swordfish Oil. The Bourbon Junkies first barrel pick. This is also my first Sagamore experience. This would be tough to identify as a rye blind. Vanilla royal frosting on a lemon cake. Clove and cinnamon for days. The frosting is what dominates and it’s very sweet forward. Decent mouth feel. Not creamy but the edges are really oily keeping it from being thin. Spicy and breast on the tongue. Shows up strong mid-palate and especially the finish. Lemon cake still stands but more of a sweet cream icing. Orange zest. And more cinnamon and sweet cream icing on the finish and it lingers strong. Rye spice builds up on the back end with subsequent sips. This one was so close to letting me down. Nose is kind of bland. Not a lot of flavor up front. But mid-palate to the finish, it really ramps up. The finish especially. Great finish on a rye.
