Angels Envy Cellar Collection Series Vol. 5

Angels Envy has never shied from inventive cask finishes, yet the latest Angels’ Envy Cellar Collection Series release shifts the conversation entirely. Vol. 5 Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila Barrels marries seven‑year rye with 11‑year rye after a yearlong rest in hand‑selected PATRÓN barrels from Jalisco. The result is a whiskey that honors the distillery’s late founder Lincoln Henderson while showcasing Master Distiller Owen Martin’s appetite for boundary‑pushing flavor.

Angels Envy Cellar Collection Series Vol. 5 Straight Rye Whiskey

The new Angels Envy Cellar Collection Series expression greets the glass in shimmering caramel hues. Aromas bloom with orange‑blossom honey, tropical fruit, and floral agave. On the palate, familiar rye baking spices and cracked black pepper find unexpected harmony with herbal sweetness and subtle clove smoke. French oak lends a soft, rounded texture, while Extra Añejo tequila notes add earthy tobacco and brown sugar depth. Bottled at 55% ABV and presented in an embossed gift box etched with agave iconography, this limited edition stands as a spirited dialogue between Kentucky rye and Mexican terroir.

For the first time, an Angels Envy Cellar Collection Series bottling will see nationwide distribution on May 31 at an SRP of $269.99. Collectors can also enter the brand’s 500Main lottery for the chance to purchase a distillery‑only bottle the same day. With just a handful of Cellar Collection releases each year, Vol. 5 positions Angels Envy at the vanguard of cask innovation—proof that rye can transcend its traditional spice profile to explore exotic fruit, honeyed oak, and the savory echo of aged tequila.
