Sagamore Spirit Amaro Review
This American amaro from Baltimore's Sagamore Spirit is made using the same 95 percent rye distillate that the distillery uses for its rye whiskey. It's impressively balanced and evolves from nose to finish, opening with vibrant violet aromas. Sweet baking spices command the first sip before bitterness arrives on the mid-palate. The finish showcases a well-balanced blend of all three aspects.
