Whiskey Review: Sagamore Distiller’s Select Manhattan Finish

This was a fun one to try. As may happen with other whiskeys, the first impression from the nose wasn’t all that exciting. But you really get into the glass and then things begin to perk up. There’s depth of flavor and certainly a tasting experience. It’s not quite a Manhattan, but that is merely a speculative notion. One does pick up the cherry flavor intermixed with a certain richness imbued from the vermouth barrel finish. rnrnIt’s a solid whiskey, but for the price tag, I may recommend a pour at a bar first and then follow your palate. And then, perhaps get a Manhattan of your choosing for a little taste comparison.
