Angels Envy Rye Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks

Crafted by the creator of Woodford Reserve Bourbon, this rye was named one of the Top 10 Whiskies in the Summer 2013 Issue ofWhisky Advocate. Copper-reddish hue. The aroma of citrus, caramel, maple and rock candy. Initial notes of sherry, soft oak and cane sugar are complemented by touches of spicy rye, brown sugar and cinnamon, and lead to a warming finish.

Distillery Notes:

“As malcontents, were particular about our whiskey. When we decided to release a rye, we knew it had to be something special to live up to the amazing response received by our bourbon finished in port barrels. Angels Envy Rye Finished in Rum Barrels is genuinely unique and worthy of Master Distiller Lincoln Hendersons 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 teams decision was unanimous.

Angels Envy Rye 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.”
