Angel's Envy Debuts Dual-Finished Rye in Cellar Collection Volume 6
Master Distiller Owen Martin is pushing the boundaries of the Angel's Envy Cellar Collection with its sixth volume, a straight rye whiskey finished in both peach brandy and toasted oak barrels. This limited-edition release marks the first time the series has employed a dual-cask maturation process to achieve its final profile.
The new expression, arriving nationwide on October 9, 2026, relies on a complex blending strategy that marries rye whiskeys aged between eight and 11 years. The finishing process involves two distinct stages: components spend 15 to 23 months in peach brandy barrels, while others undergo a six to 12-month tenure in toasted oak. This layered approach aims to balance the rye's inherent spice with the sweetness of orchard fruit and the depth of seasoned wood.
Bottled at 106.4 proof, the whiskey presents a profile defined by notes of cinnamon, caramel, and vanilla. According to the Louisville Distilling Company, only 36,000 bottles will be available at a suggested retail price of $199.99. The release serves as the latest iteration of the brand's long-standing strategy of using secondary finishing to differentiate its spirits, a practice the company has championed since its founding in 2010.
