Nose: Stewed fruits, brown sugar and that classic "maple syrup and waffles" note Palate: Mint, vanilla, more stewed fruits that lead into a hit of rye and baking spices Finish: Short, with the rye spices lingering on For their 2026 Rye Cask Strength, Angel's Envy aged their rye whiskey base for up to 4 years in Carrobema rim casks. The rye whiskey is 12-10 years old, including the finishing time. On this first taste, the profile that I know their flagship rye for is there but while there are some darker notes that come with the higher age, I nosed this pour next to a pour of their flagship and the core offering had a stronger nose. I may need a repeat visit on this one but after the first crack, this is a very solid finish rye but I expected a little bit more from this pour when compared to their everyday rye offering.
