Sugar and spice are seriously nice in this release from Sagamore, which brings together rum and rye. Following a popular limited-edition release back in 2019 aged in a Jamaican rum barrel, the distillery decided to create a more widely available bottling for its Reserve Series.
To create this, Sagamore used a blend of its barrel-aged 5 and 6-year-old straight rye whiskies, placing some of it in hand-selected barrels from South America, and the rest in barrels from Jamaica, aging both for an additional 10 months. Once aged, the whiskey from both barrels was blended back together
Bright pineapple, creme brûlée, and nutmeg.
Demerara sugar, ripe passion fruit and banana, and vanilla are followed by aromatic spices.
Cinnamon, peanut brittle, and pineapple remain.
