Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey Finished in Rum Casks 750ml
Angel's Envy Finished Rye is a rye whiskey finished for up to 18 months in Caribbean rum casks. The team sampled more than 100 rums before choosing the casks, and the result pairs rye's spicy, earthy backbone with the mellow sweetness of rum. It's remarkably smooth and easy to sip, even at 100 proof.
Angel's Envy was founded by the late Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, whose name appears on every bottle, and the brand is known for finishing its whiskeys in unusual casks. Its Port-finished bourbon made the brand famous, and this rum-finished rye was created to live up to it.
