Angel's Envy Cask Strength Sauternes and Toasted Oak Barrel Finished (Batch RC1), 57.2%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Rye Whiskey
The nose is spiced and chocolaty, complemented by a lovely backbone of fruit—strawberries and cream, juicy peach, apple cider doughnut, and hibiscus tea. The palate is wonderfully textured, and while it’s hot, once the heat subsides, dark-chocolate raspberry squares, black forest cake, and endless cinnamon emerge. The finish keeps a good thing going, redolent with black raspberry ice cream, cortado coffee, and rich chocolate.
