Sagamore Spirits Cognac Finish made headlines this year when its Port Finish rye won “Best Rye Whiskey” at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition and promptly sold out. This cognac finish rye is its first limited release since that win and it is now apparent that the folks at Sagamore Spirit know how to handle whiskey finishing. The nose is almost purely Cognac — raisins and apple, mostly — but the initial taste leans rye. Vanilla, cinnamon and star anise dominate the palate, and the fruitier Cognac hints return on the finish. This is a rye destined for sipping, not mixing.” Gear Patrol, the Best Thing I Drank Last Month.

Bottled at 101 Proof, this whiskey was originally a limited release for a local charity event (for a flood in Maryland). But it is back for a second release.

Following up on its recent Port-finished rye, Baltimore-based Sagamore Spirit again takes a blend of MGP-sourced ryes and finishes the whiskey in a unique barrel, in this case, one that previously held Cognac. The rye starts off spending four years in new, charred oak barrels, then gets an extra 8 months in the Cognac casks. Sagamore does not elaborate on the distillery which provided the wood.

Appearance / Color:

Warm Amber.

Nose / Aroma / Smell:

The aromas are definitely Rye-like with bold notes of cinnamon crumb-cake, apricot, and menthol with a hint of Cognac-like florals.

Flavor / Taste / Palate:

With just a drop of water the flavors open up with autumn fruits, pecan pralines, and toasted wood.

Finish:

The finish is long with lingering Rye spice and toffee notes.
