One batch finishes in Sauternes dessert wine barrels for three years; the second transfers into new toasted oak barrels after initial maturation. Blended at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dual finishing approach creates natural balance between the Sauternes batch's honeyed sweetness and stone fruit, and the toasted oak batch's structure and wood spice. Marrying the two is more precise than a single finishing method and explains why this is a blended straight rye rather than a single barrel or single batch expression.

By finishing two separate batches by different methods and marrying them, Angel's Envy creates natural balance. This is a more precise blending tool than a single finishing method would allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does Angel's Envy Cask Strength Rye use two different finishing methods?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Sauternes batch contributes sweetness and stone fruit; the toasted oak batch contributes structure and wood spice.
