Angel’s Envy Rye Whiskey is an innovative and indulgent expression that showcases the brand’s reputation for pushing the boundaries of American whiskey. Crafted from a mash bill dominated by rye grain, this whiskey is aged for a minimum of six years in new charred American oak barrels before undergoing a distinctive finishing process in Caribbean rum casks. This unique double maturation imparts layers of richness, complexity, and sweetness, setting it apart from traditional rye whiskeys.

The result is a spirit that balances the spice and structure of rye with the smooth, indulgent influence of rum barrels. Notes of brown sugar, molasses, and maple intertwine with the peppery warmth of rye grain, creating a whiskey that is both bold and approachable. Bottled at a robust proof, Angel’s Envy Rye delivers intensity and depth while maintaining a velvety finish, making it a standout choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the base for elevated whiskey cocktails.

Founded by the legendary Lincoln Henderson and carried on by his family, Angel’s Envy has become one of the most admired names in modern American whiskey, celebrated for its craftsmanship, innovation, and artistry. The Rye Whiskey epitomizes this ethos, demonstrating how tradition and experimentation can combine to create a spirit of extraordinary character and appeal.

With its luxurious finishing process, striking presentation, and consistently high acclaim, Angel’s Envy Rye Whiskey has secured its place as one of the most distinctive rye expressions on the market, appealing to collectors, enthusiasts, and those who seek something beyond the ordinary.

Angel’s Envy Caribbean Rum Cask Finish Rye Whiskey is a bold and indulgent expression that pushes rye into new territory. After standard aging, the whiskey is finished for up to 18 months in Caribbean rum casks, giving it layers of tropical sweetness. It opens with aromas of brown sugar, ripe banana, and spice cake, accented by vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, delivering flavors of molasses, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and dried fruit balanced by rye’s natural spice. The finish is long, luxurious, and warming, with lingering notes of rum-soaked fruit, caramel, and baking spice.
This rye pairs best with rich and decadent dishes. As a Starter, it works with spiced nuts, charcuterie, or smoked salmon. For the Main Course, it complements barbecued brisket, glazed pork belly, duck confit, or lamb shank, where its rum-sweetened spice enhances bold flavors. In the Cheese course, it shines with blue cheese, aged gouda, or sharp cheddar, balancing savory intensity with caramel sweetness. For Dessert, it is a perfect match with pecan pie, bananas foster, or dark chocolate mousse, echoing its molasses and tropical notes.

Angel's Envy

Angel’s Envy is a Kentucky-based bourbon brand founded in 2010 by legendary Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson, along with his son Wes Henderson. After decades of experience creating some of the most recognizable American whiskies, Lincoln launched Angel’s Envy as a family project to push the boundaries of bourbon-making while honoring tradition. The name reflects the concept of the “angel’s share”—the portion of whiskey lost to evaporation during barrel aging—suggesting that what remains is so exceptional it inspires envy even among angels.

What sets Angel’s Envy apart is its innovative approach to finishing. While the bourbon follows traditional methods of production—crafted from a carefully selected mash bill, distilled in Kentucky, and aged in new charred American oak barrels—it is then finished in port wine casks. This secondary maturation adds depth and a distinctive character, pioneering a style that has since become influential in the bourbon industry.

The brand has expanded its offerings to include limited releases, such as ryes finished in rum casks and special single-barrel editions, all emphasizing creativity without sacrificing quality. Today, Angel’s Envy is recognized as both a disruptor and a guardian of craftsmanship, carrying forward the Henderson family legacy while setting new standards for innovation in American whiskey.
