Angel's Envy Rye Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks

Lot of flavor, very very sweet

Vanilla and rum spice meets spicy rye. Excellent blend of the spice and sweet notes. Complex, best with a clean palette. Excellent whiskey with a stiff price.

This is the third batch I've had and, I must say, it never disappoints. Nose screams maple syrup, as if vaporized with all its sweetness by the heat of your morning pancakes. Coming along are demerara sugar, molasses, cinnamon, cardamon, plantains, guava, and faint vanilla beans. Palate is syrupy sweet--this is unashamedly a digestif. More of the same maple and cinnamon notes, caramel, cake batter, and baking spices. The finish pivots markedly, showcasing its MGP sourcing with clove and fennel. The dill is there, too, if you look for it, but either barrel selection was driven by a need to avoid this note or the rum casks particularly steamrolled it during the secondary barreling as it is no where near the potency of other MGP-sourced ryes. There are more tropical fruit notes, decadent rum raisins, and a velvety, fully coating mouthfeel. It's always been a bit polarizing due to the sweetness, but I keep finding it to be one of the best ryes available each time I return to it.
