Angel’s Envy Cellar Collection Ice Cider Finished Rye

Angel's Envy Cellar Collection Ice Cider Finished Rye is a limited-edition Kentucky straight rye finished in French oak ice cider casks from Vermont's Eden Specialty Ciders.

Part of Angel's Envy's experimental Cellar Collection, this rye is finished in rare French oak casks that previously held ice cider — a concentrated cider made from late-season Northern Spy apples pressed in 2018 and concentrated during Vermont's winter. The unusual finish layers robust autumn spice and orchard-fruit sweetness over the rye's spicy grain base, creating a distinctive, balanced expression.

Tasting Notes
