Sagamore Spirit Rye
Continuing July 4th weekend rye tastings with Baltimore’s own, Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey.

Russell’s Reserve Straight Rye Whiskey 6 Year Old
Kicking off July 4th weekend with some new rye reviews. Today we will be sipping a Russell’s Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey aged for 6 years. As the namesake brand of father/son master distiller duo, Jimmy and Eddie Russell from Wild Turkey, I am expecting great things from this release. Will it live up to the expectations?
