Experience an extraordinary evolution of America's native spirit with the Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey Green Wax Limited Edition. This exclusive presentation elevates the beloved rum-finished rye with a striking green wax seal, making it a standout addition to any premium whiskey collection. Crafted with a bold 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill, this whiskey is a masterful balancing act between raw, earthy rye spice and profound, molasses-driven sweetness.
After undergoing its initial maturation in new charred American oak barrels, the rye is transferred into high-quality Caribbean rum casks—originally used as Maison Ferrand Cognac casks before aging Plantation Rum—for an extended finishing period of up to 18 months. Bottled at a robust 100 proof (50% ABV), the resulting liquid offers an incomparably smooth, viscous, and highly drinkable experience where the rum sweetness beautifully softens the traditional rye bite.
Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting and complex aroma featuring bright citrus peel, sweet caramel candy, maple sugar, and rich vanilla bean, underpinned by seasoned oak and hazelnut.
Palate: Incredibly coating and rich. The initial sweetness of dark rum and toffee opens up to reveal layers of soft tropical fruit, roasted nuts, and a gentle rye spice of white pepper and clove.
Finish: Long, layered, and deeply satisfying. It transitions from a sticky rum sweetness into a dry, warm oak fade with lingering echoes of baking spice and licorice root.
