Angel’s Envy Unveils 2026 Cask Strength Dual Release Featuring Bourbon & First‑Ever Age‑Stated Rye

Angel’s Envy continues to push those boundaries with its 2026 Cask Strength Dual Release — pairing its highly anticipated annual Cask Strength Bourbon with a brand‑new milestone expression: the Angel’s Envy 10‑Year Cask Strength Rye, the distillery’s first age‑stated rye bottled at cask strength.

A Bourbon Built on Legacy and Finishing

Angel’s Envy’s annual Cask Strength Bourbon is a highlight every year for whiskey enthusiasts and bartenders alike. The 2026 edition, bottled at 117.8 proof, leans into a solera‑inspired process where each release builds on those before it, blending some of the oldest Kentucky Straight Bourbon in the Angel’s Envy inventory and finishing it for up to three years in Ruby Port barrels. This extended finishing enhances richness, structure, and layered character — perfect for neat pours or elevated bourbon cocktails.

A Milestone Rye for the Rye Lover

The 2026 release also brings something entirely new for Angel’s Envy: a 10‑Year Cask Strength Rye at 111.6 proof. This expression is significant because it’s the distillery’s first age‑stated rye bottled at its natural barrel proof. The rye starts as straight rye distilled in 2013 and 2015, aged in new charred American oak, and then double matured in Caribbean rum casks for up to four years — a combination of time and technique that adds sweetness, depth, and complexity to the rye’s natural spice.
