About this bottle
Master Distiller Owen Martin, who joined the brand the preceding fall, oversaw the creation of this bottling, which marks Angel's Envy's first-ever Cask Strength Rye. Martin combined barrels of two distinct rye whiskeys: one finished in Sauternes wine casks and the other in toasted oak casks. This 2023 release has a production of 5,500 bottles, each featuring an updated bottle design. Bottled at a cask strength of 114.4 proof (57.2% ABV), its availability is limited to specific retailers in KY, NY, FL, CA, TX, IL, OH, and TN, along with the Angel's Envy Distillery in Louisville, starting December 1, 2023. The suggested retail price is $269.99.

It was fantastic. One of the best ryes I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Every aspect of it was delightful. You should acquire some. I managed to get three bottles, and I suspect it won't be sufficient.
This sweet rye, after breathing a bit, is a fantastic beverage. It offers pleasant rye spice along with depth and sweetness. Without question, it's among the finest ryes I have experienced.
