Spice-forward nose with enough heat to keep you from coming in too deep. Nutmeg, chili powder, clove, fresh banana and caramel
Flavor bomb on the palate. The viscosity is moderately mouth-coating with a good bit of drying tannin. Huge clove and nutmeg mingle with cinnamon, pine, butterscotch, coconut and candied orange.
Uber-spicy finish with loads of ginger, nutmeg and cracked pepper leading into cinnamon, clove and anise. From there, it transitions into a dry, tannic, oak-forward finish with burnt marshmallow and singed orange peel. That’s where it leaves you — slightly dry-throated, ready to go back in for your next sip. A bit of rum funk slides in around the tannin — mango, pineapple.
A fantastic rye whiskey. It’s well-aged and spicy, and the rum casks add some welcome balancing sweetness without ever overwhelming. Kudos, Angel’s Envy. This is terrific stuff.
