Rye
Angel's Envy
Louisville, KY
95% rye
Nose
Molasses forward with dessert-like qualities, resembling crème brûlée with strong sweetness.
Palate
Sweet but less so than the nose suggests. Despite 100 proof, drinks smoothly without overwhelming heat. Spicy rye character balanced by rum barrel influence.
Finish
Aggressive and dominant, jumping out and demanding attention. Oily mouthcoat with lingering spice.
Very good
A bold and unique rye expression where the aggressive rum barrel finish transforms the traditional rye profile into something altogether distinctive and memorable.
