• With its heavy, mouth-coating flavors of butterscotch and brown sugar, the Angel's Envy rye is one of the hedonistic American whiskies on the market today, dessert-like from front to back with plenty of spice. Much like Angel's Envy finishes its Bourbon in Port barrels, the rye expression is transferred into Caribbean rum barrels for an extended maturation, imparting the added richness and sweetness to the rye whiskey. While Angel’s Envy now has an operational distillery in Louisville, KY, the rye whiskey is purchased and contracted from MGP distillery in Indiana, then bottled by Angel's Envy. Originally founded by Woodford Reserve creator Lincoln Henderson, the brand is carried on today by his son Wes. The Angel's Envy rye is bottled at 50% ABV.

94 points Wine Enthusiast This honey-hued rye has a remarkable aroma, melding cookie dough, hazelnut and marzipan. The same luscious flavors show up on the palate, rich and sweet, leading into a confected finish of Nutella sprinkled with nutmeg and cinnamon. The sugar-and-spice effect is due to 18 months finishing time in casks that first held Cognac, then Caribbean rum. *Top 50 Spirits 2013*

90 points Whisky Advocate The folks at Angel’s Envy once again push the envelope with this 95% rye whiskey finished in Caribbean rum casks. Vibrant, spicy rye notes (cinnamon and mint) are tamed by rich maple syrup, graham cracker crust, nutty toffee, candy floss, subtle tropical fruit, and creamy vanilla. Warm, spicy, rummy finish. This is a mood whiskey—not one I would drink every day—but the flavors marry nicely and the sweetness tames this high-testosterone rye whiskey. Bonus points for uniqueness. *Editors' Choice*
