Process & Profile

This small-batch limited-edition rye begins life as Kentucky Straight Rye, then is finished in select French-oak barrels for extra depth, richness, and spice. The finish process brings an elegant layer of structure and complexity to the bold 95% rye mash bill that the base whiskey carries. The bottling at 92 proof (46% ABV) preserves its intensity while making it approachable for sipping neat or in a premium cocktail. 

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm cinnamon and nutmeg spice, toasted vanilla, dried orange peel, and faint cedar-wood nuance. 

• Palate: Rich caramel, cracked black pepper and ginger from the rye core, layered with the smooth dryness of French oak, subtle rye herbal notes, and toasted nuts. 

• Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering spice, soft oak tannin, a hint of vanilla custard sweetness, and a warm peppered fade.

What Makes It Special

• Crafted as a limited-edition small batch offering, making it a sought-after release for collectors and enthusiasts. 

• Finished in French oak barrels instead of the more common American oak, emphasizing baking spices and oak texture rather than heavy sweetness. 

• Retains the bold character of a high-rye 95 % mash bill, offering powerful spice and grain expression while benefiting from the finesse of the finish. 

• Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV)—a proof level that keeps plenty of character intact while ensuring drinkability. 

• Produced by Angel’s Envy in Louisville, Kentucky — a brand known for innovative cask finishes and quality craftsmanship. 

How to Enjoy

Serve this rye whiskey neat in a rocks or tulip glass to fully appreciate its spice, oak, and deeper rye character. Adding a large ice cube is acceptable if you prefer a slightly chilled sip; avoid splashy mixers if you want to experience the complexity. It also works superbly in elevated rye-based cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan—where the French oak finish adds subtle depth rather than overpowering sweetness. Pair with dark chocolate, ginger-spiced dessert, or savory charcuterie with mustard-seed accents for a complementary tasting experience.
