Angel's Envy Rye Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks

For tasting number 200 I wanted something special. A known quantity that I haven't had but could be certain I liked. I found it when a dear friend said this was a butterscotch bomb. Done, I'll buy one! On the nose this is precisely that. It's a butterscotch bomb. There's also a good dollop of cinnamon toast cereal, and very faint spice. Dessert in a glencairn! This tastes like a liquid candy bar. No. Not a candy bar. An intoxicating liquid butterscotch ice cream sundae! This isn't a traditional rye whiskey at all. It even goes a bit beyond just being finished and into the world of being uniquely flavored. This isn't a rye I'd suggest using to make any kind of a mixed drink that I can think of. This is definitely a cordial with a higher proof that you enjoy neat or maybe on a large piece of ice, if that's your thing. Me, I'm a happy butterscotch fan. This is absolutely delicious in my opinion but it is definitely not a traditional rye and it has to lose a little bit of points for that. That said this is clearly something I'm going to have around for a while. Really liked it.

Nose: reminds me of pancakes. That’s not a bad thing. Its maple, butter, Carmel and brown sugar. It’s probably the best smelling rye I’ve ever had. Palate: outstanding. All that spice and sweet are so well balanced. The finish goes on and on. It leaves your entire mouth coated in this delicious balanced dram. Overall: I’ve heard some say its too sweet. For my palate is a great balance. Fantastic pour

Great kick followed by maple and spice. One of my favorites

I can’t believe I can taste the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I love it.

Hits of caramel or something... so good. Still learning...

Pepper, sweet finish
