Sagamore Small Batch Rye Blend (Batch 51), 46.5%

From first pour, this is unabashedly rye forward. The nose leads with spearmint, menthol, and punchy herbs. The palate is sweeter and fruiter than the nose would suggest, with apple pie, pear tart, and berries in cream. The herbs return on the finish, giving the slow fade an earthy sweetness with sweet chocolates mingling with mint and rosemary.
