Background: This is a 6-7 year old rye, finished for up to 18 months in ex-rum casks. I had this blind, so keep that in mind while reading my notes.
ABV: 50%
Nose: Spice, bubblegum, slight greenwood, burnt oak, vanilla, cinnamon
Palate: Medium/thin mouthfeel, Spice, greenwood, slight vanilla hint, oak,hot
Finish: Shortish finish. Heat, spice, oak, leather hint.
Im not a big fan of this. It’s a bit of a mess, the flavors are all over the place and dominated by charred oak.
Rating: 3/10
Guess: This is a young rye or a young high rye bourbon, 45-50%, 4 years or less old.
Reveal: Angels Envy (rum) Finished Rye
Interesting as I have a bottle but haven’t touched it in a number of months, but I can see why. I previously reviewed this in the Fall so my tasted must have changed a bit since then.
