I forgot to add this taste. I stayed at a friend's house for a weekend in February and his guests gravitated to his fancy bar setup towards the end of the night. He's not a whiskey enthusiast by any means, but he possessed some good recognizable options I've had before. The one whiskey I had not tried was Angel's Envy Rye. I currently possess the slightly underwhelming bourbon port finish so I was eager to compare. Just for clarity I was already a few light beers deep and I drank 2 rye pours in a standard rocks glass neat. Despite those drawbacks the AE Rye was clearly superior to the bourbon. The AE Rye was a heavily spiced Christmas dessert in a glass. Even though it was 100 proof, it was smooth sipping all night. Highly enjoyable, and honestly tastes nothing like any rye whiskey I've had. I attribute that to the very long 18 month rum cask finish because I'm not a fan of the standard MGP rye profile. If this wasn't $100 and scarce I'd consider buying it!
