Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the person who loves both a good rye and a good sipping tequila and has never had to choose. Angel's Envy takes its Straight Rye Whiskey and finishes it in French oak barrels that previously held Añejo tequila, and the result reads like a conversation between the two: vanilla, caramel and cooked agave on the nose, then a rich, silky palate of rye spice, honey, butterscotch, roasted agave and black pepper. The finish runs long and warm, with sweet oak, citrus and a delicate tequila character. Because it is a limited-edition release produced in limited quantities, it makes a considered gift for a collector, a milestone birthday, or a promotion worth marking. Encourage the recipient to pour it neat first, then add a few drops of water to coax out more agave, citrus and sweet spice. It is a bottle that rewards slow evenings and good company, and it gives the curious drinker something genuinely new to talk about.
