Angel’s Envy Rum Barrel Finished Rye Whiskey 750ml

Angel’s Envy Rye Finished in Rum Barrels is genuinely unique and worthy of Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson’s legacy. The taste profile of rye whiskey was a perfect fit for a rum cask finish. After sampling over 100 rums to find the right flavor to complement rye whiskey, the team’s decision was unanimous. Angel’s Envy spends up to 18 months finishing in Caribbean rum casks, resulting in an immensely complex whiskey. The mingling of raw, spicy, and earthy rye with the mellow sweetness of rum finishing creates an incomparably smooth and drinkable whiskey, even at 100 proof.

We’re particular about our whiskey. So when Lincoln Henderson decided to make rye, he took an unconventional approach. As a malcontent, it’s just his nature. We began traditionally, insisting upon the perfect taste profile at 95% rye. Even the water has to be correct. We can be a handful to work with, but the extra effort always seems to pay off. So where other ryes would have stopped, we chose to finish. Lincoln decided that a rum finish would provide the perfect complement to our already exceptional rye. We chose rum barrels that had previously been used to age French cognac. Long story short, our barrels are vintage and very well-traveled. We finish our rye for up to 18 months in these Franco Caribbean casks, resulting in a rare and immensely complex, but incredibly drinkable whiskey, even at 100 proof. With only 2,500 9-liter cases at launch, Angel’s Envy Rum Finished Rye is a minimal batch release, and we sincerely hope you get the opportunity to enjoy a bottle—neat, mixed, or in good company. FLAVOR NOTES: First, notice the crystal clear quality with a rich reddish amber color. You smell citrus, caramel candy, maple sugar, vanilla oak, hazelnut, spice, and sherry wood. You’ll taste sweet rum sherry wood and soft oak with a finish that’s both sweet and dry as well as quick and easy.
