Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks

Rum-Finished Rye | 50% ABV | 100 Proof | 750mL | USA | Caribbean Rum Cask Finish

Process & Profile

Angel’s Envy Rye Whiskey Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks brings together earthy rye spice and the rounded sweetness of a rum cask finish. Made with a 95% rye mash bill, the whiskey first matures in new American white oak before moving into barrels that previously held Caribbean rum.

The secondary maturation lasts up to 18 months. It adds a sweet rum character that complements the grain’s spice, while the 100-proof bottling gives the whiskey enough body to hold its own in a stirred cocktail. Maple, caramel, and citrus lead into a warm, gently sweet finish.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Citrus and caramel candy give way to maple sugar, vanilla, and hazelnut.

• Palate: Sweet rum and mellow oak, with earthy rye spice and a sherry-like wood note.

• Finish: Full and warming, with a light sweetness that lingers.

What Makes It Special

• 95% rye mash bill: Gives the whiskey its earthy, spicy backbone.

• Two stages of maturation: New American white oak aging is followed by a rest in Caribbean rum casks.

• Up to 18 months of finishing: The extended rum cask finish rounds out the rye with maple and caramel sweetness.

• 100-proof bottling: Offers enough intensity for a neat pour or a whiskey-forward cocktail.

How to Enjoy

Serve neat to bring out the maple and vanilla aromas, or add a large ice cube for a cooler pour with gradual dilution. For a cocktail, try a rye Old Fashioned with aromatic bitters and orange peel. Start with a little less syrup than usual and adjust to taste, since the rum cask finish already brings sweetness.
