Coming out of dry January, I have heard a lot about this whiskey and I bought a bottle to be my first dram coming out of sobriety. It did not disappoint. I'm impressed with the flavor for a lower ABV. If you like high ABVs stay away, if you like whiskeys with lower ABV and you palette that can appreciate them this a great rye to have on your back bar.

Description

Rye whiskey has a long ol' history in the USA, with a few places in particular singled out in rye's journey, including Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The Maryland-style of rye has struggled on the verge of extinction in recent decades, but Sagamore Spirit is one of a few producers choosing to make this sweeter style of rye. The Signature Rye is made with a sourced combination of two rye whiskeys from Indiana, brought down to bottling strength with limestone-filtered water from Sagamore Farm. Not quite a dry and spicy as the rye whiskeys that you may be familiar with, but it offers up a lip-smacking sweetness that makes for easy sipping, and works great in cocktails.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Honeyed grains, milky coffee, cinnamon gum and a soft hint of peppery oak.

Palate

Chewy dates and candied peels, with pistachio ice cream and nutmeg to follow.

Finish

Lasting vanilla, a hint of drying cedar and more honey.
