Angel's Envy 2023 Cask Strength Rye Whiskey review

Tasting Notes

About:

blend of rye whiskeys selected from Sauternes finishing casks and Toasted Oak finishing barrels; 114.4 proof; 5,500 bottles produced; $269.99 MSRP.
Appearance:
Nice ambient dark orange with a hint of brown, looking like a fine wine. legs which cling to the inside of the glass seemingly forever.
Nose:
It’s like someone took butterscotch and cream and blended them together into one magnificent offering. Apricot and lavender are slightly present as well.
Palate:
Spicy rye hits the moment you sip, fading into warmer notes of creamy sweet goodness tied to toffee and butterscotch. This plays nicely across the tongue from one end to the other, leaving a pleasant, long finish you hope doesn’t go away.
Finish:
Comments:
One doesn’t normally expect a rye whiskey to be a sipper you can enjoy with dessert. This one defies that norm easily. Great job first time out for Angel’s Envy in bringing a rye to their Cask Strength program.
