Appearance / Color

Warm mahogany.

Nose / Aroma / Smell

Toasted banana-spice bread, roasted pecans.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

50% ABV and powerful … with a splash of water it is caramel, more banana, toasted grain, and liquid love in a glass.

Finish

A warm velvet glove with muddled wine.

Angel's Envy Rye starts life as a quality, but rather traditional mix of 95% Rye and 5% malted barley. Bulleit, Dickle… a lot of the top guys use this mix because it works well. This is where Angel’s Envy works their magic. First, they age it a full six years in medium-char American oak. Then they finish it for an additional 18 months in Rum casks, but not just “any” Rum casks. These are “THE” Rum casks from Plantation Rum… the ones that started as Cognac casks from Maison Ferrand. So Angel's Envy Rye is third in a line of super-premium awesomeness in those casks, emerging 7 1/2 years old. No more sales pitch, you just think about that for a minute and get back to us.
