Angel's Envy Rye
A buddy picked up a bottle at the Package store on base. He likes the original Angel's Envy so he wanted to try the rye. I am not a fan of the original.
One evening four of us got together to herf so we gave the rye a taste. I didn't care for it at all the finish is awful. Getting to the finish was very agreeable but then POW! The finish tastes like a sickening maple flavor. After whipping out my phone to booze sleuth I read it's finished in Caribbean Rum casks for up to 18 months. So, it was the rum finish I didn't care for. |

Pretty similar to my experience.
For $50 and up bourbon and rye, it seems pretty run-of-the-mill. I can find stuff I like better at lower price points. Pretty bottle though.

If you can find it, try the Sazerac rye. Regular expression, nothing fancy or exotic. For the price, it's damned good.
