Angel's Envy Cellar Collection Series Volume 5 Rye Whiskey

Angel's Envy Cellar Collection Series Volume 5 Rye Whiskey
Finished in French Oak Añejo Tequila Barrels

Where Rye Meets Agave
The fifth release in the Angel's Envy Cellar Collection pushes boundaries once again. This limited-edition Straight Rye Whiskey is aged for 6.5 to 7 years before being finished for up to 12 months in rare French Oak barrels that previously held Patrón Añejo Tequila for 4 years. The result is a refined, earthy, and spiced whiskey that marries rye's peppery profile with the herbal complexity of aged tequila.
