I revisited the Sagamore Cask Strength and the Sagamore Sherry Finish again last night. I have to say I've changed my mind on the CS. After being open a little while, it lost some of the spiciness that I wasnt fond of. It still has some spice to it, but it's not as overpowering as it was when I first cracked the bottle. Now I'm not sure which bottle I Iike better between the two. They are both very good. I'm not sure I'd buy the Sherry Finish again simply because of the price difference. I don't think it is that much better than the Cask and it's definitely not better than the Double Oak which I can also get cheaper.
