Angel's Envy Rye Finished in Caribbean Rum Casks

Bottle kill on my bottle of Angel's Envy Finished Rye. This bottle was a crowd pleaser, from the regular whiskey drinkers to the new whiskey drinkers. It went fast too. At 100 proof it's still very easy drinking. It's sweet, with tons of maple syrup notes, and just enough spice to make it interesting. I acquired this bottle in a trade for a half bottle of Larceny barrel proof, and I feel a bit guilty because I definitely got the better end of the deal. I feel bad for anyone who can't enjoy this rye, because it's quite delicious.

Very good, almost a dessert rye. It is sweet and the spices shine through.

Very good.

"Tastes like a maple covered pine cone. Very different. Sweet, sweet. It’s a nice change of pace. Spicy finish. It’s a keeper.

Spicy, bold, vanilla

Tasted this bottle for the first time with a group of friends and it was a big hit. Angel's Eny rye definitely leans heavily to the sweet side, practically a dessert whiskey. The nose is pure maple syrup. On the palate it's much the same, with each sip is like a big bite of waffles and syrup. After the initial burst of sweet maple goodness, there are some other underlying notes, there's slight pepper spice, some lemongrass, and something that brings to mind coconut curry for me. This one actually pushes the envelope of almost being too sweet, but not quite. Coming in at 100 proof it has just enough umph to balance out the sweetness. I think this one would appeal to a wide variety of people who may not be regular whiskey drinkers. This is a little to pricey and sweet to be a daily sipper, but as an occasional pour or after dinner treat, it's a perfect fit for me.
