Angel's Envy Finished Rye Review
This is a left-field rye whiskey and one that, after tasting, you'll be able to pick out from a mile off during a blind tasting. Finished in rum casks, the expressive rye begins with heavy doses maple syrup, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon aromas, and basically every other baking spice you can imagine. The palate takes a similar path but manages to deliver even more intensity. But this bottle if you’re a fan of winter-spiced desserts or perfumed candles. You’ll love it.
Angel's Envy Finished Rye Pros And Cons
