Angel’s Envy has long been known for its annual release of cask strength bourbon. This year, the Henderson family is doubling up on cask strength with its first-ever Angel’s Envy 2023 Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Sauternes and Toasted Oak Barrels.
The rye expression is being released with the Angel’s Envy 2023 Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Port Wine Barrels These expressions mark the first releases under the helm of Master Distiller Owen Martin, who joined the brand last fall. Beginning on December 1, both expressions will be available at select retailers, including the Angel’s Envy distillery in downtown Louisville.
Angel’s Envy 2023 Cask Strength Rye is the brand’s first time releasing a limited-edition Rye Whiskey at Cask Strength – just 5,500 bottles will be available for purchase. Martin blended barrels selected first-hand of two rye whiskeys – one finished in Sauternes Casks and the other finished in Toasted Oak Barrels. This limited-edition Cask Strength Rye falls under Angel’s Envy’s highly acclaimed Cask Strength program and comes in a newly designed, elevated glass bottle.
“We are always looking to push the boundaries of innovation at Angel’s Envy,” says Owen Martin, Master Distiller at Angel’s Envy. “It was thrilling to kick off my journey with the best-in-class team at the distillery on the 12th Annual Cask Strength Bourbon and the first-ever limited-edition Cask Strength Rye Whiskey. With my deep background in maturing, blending, and finishing whiskey, I’ve been able to share a unique perspective on the Angel’s Envy’s award-winning Cask Strength program, and am looking forward to this next chapter with the brand.”
The limited-edition annual Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon will have just 22,656 bottles. This year’s expression marks the first Cask Strength release from Martin. It will also feature a brand-new, elevated bottle design.
