Angel’s Envy Just Dropped Its Rarest Rye Whiskey Yet—and It’s Actually Available Nationwide

American whiskey is a crowded category these days, but Angel’s Envy has established separation in the space by focusing almost entirely on barrel-finished expressions. The Kentucky producer initially launched back in 2011 with a straight bourbon finished in port wine barrels. At the time, secondary maturation of this sort was seen as something novel—or even heretical—in bourbon making. Now, it’s common practice.

Angel’s Envy, in turn, has worked diligently to stay at the forefront of a trend it helped inspire.
