I've been using this app for some time, and the 78 score is one of the most questionable expert ratings I've encountered. This spirit easily rivals the Midwinter Nights Dram.

About this bottle
This is the third port-finished rye from Sagamore Spirit and features its longest port maturation to date. It begins as a straight rye aged for 6 years in new, charred American oak barrels, then spends an additional 3 years finishing in Maryland-style port casks. Bottled at 103 proof, it has been available since November 2023 at the distillery in Baltimore and select US retailers, with a suggested retail price of $99.99.

I don't get the website's score of 78. It's completely off. This certainly surpasses MWND. The port influence is immense, with a very rich and lengthy finish.
This outperforms that other finished rye. It delivers everything one could desire in a port-finished rye.
