Sagamore Spirit Reserve Series Sherry Finish, 53%

Spice floats above cinnamon cake, vanilla, and spiced chocolate on the nose, deftly balanced by earthy hints of oak and slate. The palate is lively with sweetness of cherries, sugared pineapple, and candied orange, all balanced by spice. Lots of depth on a long, rich finish with notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and more subtle spice. An excellent dram, with great depth, integration, and that appealingly long finish.
