Product details
Angel’s Envy Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in French Oak Añejo Tequila Barrels represents a bold innovation inspired by tequila’s unique production process. Seeking to push the boundaries beyond traditional fortified wine barrel finishes, the Master Distiller discovered rare Patrón French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila barrels, each having aged agave distillate for four years. These barrels, notable for their French oak construction and extended tequila aging, impart a rich, spiced character to the rye whiskey. The rye is aged up to seven years before spending up to twelve months finishing in these extraordinary tequila barrels, then expertly blended with an 11-year-old rye to create a refined whiskey of exceptional depth and complexity. The elegant packaging—featuring refined grooves, foil accents, an etched cork, and a green and gold box embossed with the agave symbol—pays homage to this rare fusion of rye and tequila traditions.
On the nose, this whiskey greets you with floral and fruit-forward aromas, layered with toasty vanilla and a subtle clove smokiness. The palate unfolds with baking spices and cracked pepper, balanced by the sweetness of herbal agave syrup, alongside earthy notes of tobacco and brown sugar. The finish is soft and well-rounded, leaving lingering hints of orange blossom honey, tropical fruits, and French oak. This richly layered whiskey pairs beautifully with bold and complex dishes such as mole, dark chocolate, charcuterie, and aged cheeses, making it a sophisticated choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking new and exciting flavor discoveries.
